<br />(Page 2) <br />~ MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID # M-77-436 <br />INSPECTION DATE November 16, 1998 <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS TAS <br />1. An aerial inspection of the Tower Pit No. 1 was conducted. Several or more oblique <br />photographs of the Regular 112 Operation were taken with a 35mm camera and will be used by <br />Division Staff during future ground inspections to determine compliance with the approved <br />mine and reclamation plan. Photographs (slides) are attached to this report. <br />2. The photographs were taken to document any changes in the pit disturbance and hydrology <br />at the site since the previous site inspections on August 28, 1998 and September 14, 1998. <br />Excavation of construction materials in the northwestern corner of the pit appears to be <br />completed. Also, there appears to be considerably more water in the floor of the pit. <br />3. On October 30, 1998 the Division completed its review of a current reclamation cost for <br />the Tower Pit No. 1. A request was then sent to the operator for a financial warranty <br />increase to be submitted on or before December 29, 1998. The operator was given the option <br />of performing reclamation tasks (primarily backfilling the pit to an elevation of 2 feet <br />above groundwater) on or before December 29, 1998 to reduce the amount of financial warranty <br />required. It does not appear that any significant reclamation has been performed at the site <br />since October 30, 1998. <br />4. Copies of the aerial photographs will be made available to the operator upon request, <br />provided the operator is willing to pay for the cost of duplication. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />^ CE <br />NAME Mr. Dave Hammer ^ BL <br />OPERATOR D.H.
