This operation <br />consists of an 8 foot long ad it in an east facing elope. The land use is residential and <br />multi-acre hcmesites are located in the general area. A dry gulch croesee the permit area <br />from west to east. <br />The permit sign and markers were in place and top soil and ore stockpiles were situated along <br />the northern portion of the permit. The powder and primer magazines are located uphill and <br />west from the mine area in concrete and metal bunkers. Pursuant to the storm-water <br />management plan for this site, berms and diversion ditches have been installed north and <br />south of the mine which carry drainage from the west around the adit, ore stockpiles and <br />facility area. The only structure is a small shed in the facility area east of the adit. <br />There ie no water in this ad it. The portal ie cut into the east facing hillside below <br />approximately 8 feet of decomposed granite which underlies about 3 feet of topsoil and <br />subsoil. The area above the portal is fenced for security and is being stabilized with a <br />wood frame. The mine follows a westerly trending vein in apparently un-mineralized granitic <br />country rock. Ore is stockpiled near the adit entrance where it ie broken by hand and high <br />graded. The remainder is stored in the northern facility area. The ore stockpile consisted <br />of about 10 to 15 cubic yards of material. It appeared to contain at moat, trace levels of <br />pyrite and a metallic mineral in quantities lees than 19 ( according to Mr. Covey this ie <br />sylvanite containing gold, silver and tellurium). Hr. Covey said that all material mined ie <br />ore grade and thus no waste rock ie stockpiled. <br />The bond amount of $1,500 is the maximum allowed for a 110(1) permit and is adequate for this <br />site. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME Harry D.
