(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: M-1977-~d~ <br />INSPECTION DATE: July 11,..2005 INSPECTOR=S INITIALS: ~~ <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />1. This inspection responded to the operator's request for apre-release inspection to discuss and evaluate <br />bonding issues and the remaining reclamation in anticipation of a possible sale of the property. <br />2. The entire site has been graded to Rnal slopes. Remaining are some fairly deep furrow-like water- <br />retentionfeatures that are expected to Batten out wffh time, and that will require no further grading. The <br />existing benches and highwalls will remain. <br />3. Though parts of the sffe are ready for complete reclamation release, a few, particularly in the northem <br />part of the major pit area, need more time for better infllling, and some high-gypsum exposure, low <br />topsoil areas need more topsoil and will probably require replanting. <br />4. Releasable parts of the site host diverse native grasses, trees and shrubs, effher planted or volunteering <br />from local natural seeding, and are have nil weeds. Most of the successful pinon 1L juniper plantings are <br />taking on bulk. Grass coverage is generally excellent in areas that are releasable. Native shrubs are <br />tilling in parts of the disturbed area. <br />5. A few of the steeply sloping areas adjacent to the main pit and some of the areas with southerly aspect <br />host sparser vegetation, but the plants here appear structurally stable and appear generally well <br />esfabltshed, though they are sparser in density than vegetation in the flatter areas and upon slopes with <br />more northerly aspect. <br />6. The BLM tract on the northern edge of the disturbance is especially well vegetated. <br />7. The shop building and road infrastructure are permanent, and are no longer bonded. A large water tank <br />remains on site along with black pipe leading to it. <br />8. Approximately 70% (+/- 15%) of the area appears to be ready for release from all reclamation liability, <br />provided that the vegetation has gone without irrigation for a significant number of years. <br />9. It was decided that Georgia-Pacific would apply for a reclamation release for all or part of the property, <br />and that the DMG would then re-Inspect and map a more definite percentage of the acreage that is <br />ready for release from reclamation liability. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: Bob Shaiarv <br />OPERATOR: Georgia-Pacific Gvosum Corporation <br />STREET: 14n1 Pier n Street <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP: I nng Ranrh_ ('A 9nR09 <br />cc: t CE <br />I' BL <br />r FS <br />r HW <br />T HMWMD (CH) <br />r SE <br />1" WQCD (CH) <br />I' OTHER <br />
