The inspector was in the area on other Division business and noted the site was due for an <br />inspection. The operator was not contacted as this inspection occurred purely by chance and convenience. <br />Signs and permit boundary markers were observed as required by rule. The sign was located at the entrance to the <br />site. Fence lines, t-posts and day lighted edge to the west, define the permit boundaries. <br />No noxious weeds were noted along the main ramp road and slopes that appear to be reclaimed. Vegetation along <br />3:1 slopes include grasses such as slender and crested wheat grass along with some rabbit brush and sage. Cover is <br />estimated to be around 75% or better. <br />The inspector noted several stockpiles ofprocessed materials on site. A loader and stacker were parked on site. It is <br />evident that stockpiles have been worked recently. No major highwalls were noted within the mining azea. <br />No major erosion or sedimentation issues were observed. Mining debris and materials aze concentrated to a yazd <br />like area. <br />The only issue of concern is the lack of proper secondary containment for a fuels and oils. The inspector noted a <br />500-gallon tank sitting on the ground with no secondary containment. Also observed were numerous 5-gallon oil <br />containers and 55-gallon drums that were not stored or disposed of correctly.
