(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID # M-1981-080 <br />INSPECTION DATE 1/15/07 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS RCO <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This inspection was pertormed by the Division as part of its monitoring of Construction Materials 110c permits. The operator <br />was contacted about the scheduled inspection, and present during the inspection. The site was not active at the time of the <br />inspection. <br />The required permit ID sign and all permit corner markers were observed. There is a county road crossing the eastern portion <br />of the permit. There is no excavation done in the permit area east of the county road. The only activities are the storage of <br />some mining-related equipment and placement of the portable scale and scalehouse. <br />The operator's non-mining-related equipment, materials and shop building (all used in his construction business) are placed <br />outside the permitted area's south boundary. <br />All excavation and stockpiling is carried out in the area west of the county road. There is no recent mining, as all recent activity <br />has been removal of existing stockpiled materials. Past excavation is orderly and some of the slopes are being reduced as <br />mining progresses. There is an old pre-law pit in the west end of the permit area, which the operator's currently permitted <br />excavation has not encroached on yet. Eventually the old pit will join the new one, as the new pit expands, and all will be <br />reclaimed under the approved reclamation plan. <br />Topsoil has been stripped ahead of the mining, and is stockpiled on the south and southwest sides of the permit. It is sufficient <br />to cover the presently disturbed areas. It is being protected, is adequately vegetated, and has no weeds on it. <br />All stormwater draining from the disturbed areas reports to the pit. The site is kept neat, with no accumulation of parts or <br />debris. There is no onsite storage of hydrocarbons. There are no noxious weeds. <br />The existing amount of bond posted is $5000. A review of the permit file, however, reveals that the bond was recalculated in <br />1995, as Dart of a permit revision. The updated total was raised to $17,451, but apparently no additional bond was ever posted <br />nor was subsequent communication found explaining why no additional bond was posted. Copv of the 1995 bond recalculation <br />and cover letter are attached hereto for the operator's information. The discrepancy in bond amount is noted as a problem on <br />page 1. The correction of this problem requires that the operator either provide copy of corcespondence showing why the bond <br />increase was not submitted, or to provide a statement that the additional bond will be submitted. (Please note that this office is <br />required to perform another bond recalculation. with the new figures to be sent to the operator. The newer updated bond <br />amount will be what is required to be posted.) Please see the last Pape for the corcection date. <br />No further items were observed during the inspection.
