The operator's representative, Mr. P~sul Thomsen, was <br />present during the inspection. The 95 acres which the operator wishes to bond are located <br />roughly between 112,700 north and 117,300 north on the operator's grid system. This is the <br />E-Band ridge, a grass and brush covered ridge of relatively low relief. 7.'he vegetation ie <br />characterized by Mtn. Mahogany and grasses. <br />The topsoil varies in thickness from a few inches on the ridge top to 2 to 3 feet on the <br />lower eastern elope of the ridge. Mr. Thomsen said that an average of 2 to 5 feet of topsoil <br />would be removed and stockpiled from this area. <br />There are no water bodies or permanent man-made structures within 200 feet. and the area to <br />the west and south has been previously mined. The land to the north and east is used for <br />grazing. The Division will review the bond calculations supplied by the operator in the next <br />30 days and notify the operator of the new bond amount. <br />We also inspected the northern end of the gauarry which is now being reclaimed. The area <br />consists of 40 acres of the "A" band pit. Mr. Thomsen stated that three to four feet of <br />topsoil has been replaced and was reseeded last week (week of May 29, 1994). The grading on <br />this area looks good and blends in well with the surrounding topography. <br />I & E Contact Address cc: Carl Mount, DMG <br />^ CE <br />NAME Paul E.
