• III IIIIIIIIIIIII III • <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID # M-76-051 <br />INSPECTION DATE 1-7-98 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS GC <br />This was a monitoring and surety inspection conducted with Debi Duckels of Duckels Construction. The <br />pit was active at the time of the inspection. The current permit area covers 25 acres. The operator <br />has applied for an additional 38 acres (Amendment AM-004) which will tie onto the northern side of <br />the current permit area. Mining has been progressing generally from south to north. Rows about 150 <br />feet wide are mined from east to west. The mining operation consists of removing 10 to 15 feet of <br />overburden in an area of 150 feet by 50 feet. The gravel deposit is mined out and the overburden in <br />the next 150' x 50' section is removed and cast back into the previously mined out pit. This limits <br />the size of the active pit at any one time to about 1/4 acre or less. Cuzrently, the operation is <br />in the last row along the north side of the permit. Approval of Amendment AM-004 will allow the <br />operation to proceed on toward the north. <br />The remainder of the original 25 acres has been mined out and is in various stages of reclamation. <br />All of the previous pit areas have been backf filled and overburden and topsoil has been replaced over <br />much of the site. No on-site processing is conducted in this operation. <br />There is sufficient topsoil on-site for final reclamation. The bond will be evaluated based on the <br />maximum disturbance expected at any one time. One problem was observed on-site. Fences adequately <br />mark the permit boundaries along the eastern and northern sides of the permit, however, portions of <br />the western and southern permit boundaries may not be marked with readily visible, permanent markers. <br />Rule 3.1.12 of the Construction Materials Rules and Regulations requires that the boundaries of the <br />permit be marked by monuments or other markers, clearly visible and adequate to delineate such <br />boundaries. This needs to be done (see Problem PB-1). Suitable markers include, but are not limited <br />to, wood or steel fenceposts spaced along the permit boundary so that the boundary is clearly defined <br />at any point. <br />I 6 E Contact Address <br /> ^ CE <br />NAME Ms. Debi Duckels ^ HL <br />OPERATOR Duckels Construction.
