No individuals were contacted, no activities were observed during the time of <br />this inspection. The Bartley Gravel Pit is approved for 77.3 acres affected area. Mine status is <br />active. <br />Mine identification sign was posted at mine entrance. Permit boundary was delineated sufficiently <br />to be located. Mine entrance road was well maintained. <br />Active operations were located in the western 1 /3 of the permit area. Topsoil had been recently <br />stripped to within 10' of the west boundary fence and to within 200' of the north boundary fence. <br />Recently salvaged topsoil was stockpiled along the north and east sides of the active extraction <br />area. Material stockpile was located along the south side of the extraction area. Current mining <br />activities appeared to be greater than 200' from the buried gas pipeline which extends through the <br />permit area from the NE corner to the south central border. <br />Clay borrow pit, located within the north central permit area appeared active. Topsoil and <br />overburden stockpiles were located along the west side of the clay pit. Clay pit exhibited internal <br />drainage. <br />Immediately east of the active extraction area, reclamation appeared current. Recent seeding had <br />occurred over a 2 acre area. Reclamation appeared complete for most of the eastern 2/3 of the <br />permit area. <br />Affected areas appeared stable, no evidence of erosion to affected areas and to surrounding areas <br />was observed. <br />NAME Tim Huskev <br />OPERATOR Dolores Countv <br />STREET P.O.
