<br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID # <br />INSPECTION DATE <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This was a st.rety related monitoring inspection conducted by Tony Waldron and Gary Curtiss <br />of DMG along with Nathan Barton of Pete Lien and Sons. Mr. Barton requested that the <br />inspectors conduct a preliminary assessment of whether or not this site would be eligible for <br />release of performance and financial warranty. <br />The site was located along the eastern flank of a hogback type formation and was permitted <br />as a silica sand operation. The entire area has been nicely regraded. The regrading plan <br />did leave a small Swale type depression near the north side of the disturbed area that will <br />contain water from the small watershed leading into it. The regraded slopes along the <br />western side ~~f the permit area are fairly long and are currently exhibiting some minor rill <br />erosion. The operator may want to consider installing some contour furrows or small terraces <br />across this slope at approximately 50-100 foot intervals. This would serve two functions. <br />First, it wou:Ld break up the slope length and serve to control the rilling activity. Second, <br />these furrows or terraces could be used to divert water away from the Swale/depression. <br />The area was :seeded in the fall of 1996 and to this point is exhibiting only minor vegetative <br />establishment. The operator could request a partial release for this site for the regrading <br />and topsoilicig tasks that have been completed so far. No credit will be given for <br />revegetation until the permanent reclamation species become more established. After this <br />growing season, it may be possible to obtain additional or full release depending on the <br />condition of the vegetation and the stability of the backfilled areas. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME Nathan Barton <br />OPERATOR Pete Lien and Sons.
