The operator <br />was contacted about the inspection and a time was arranged to jointly inspect the site. The operator named on page one <br />was present throughout the inspection. <br />The permit ID sign was posted at the NE entrance to the site. The permit boundary is delineated mainly by fencelines. A <br />five-acre block in the NE corner of the property, containing the company offices, shop, processing facilities, etc., is not <br />included in the permit area; it receives and processes material from other sites, is not required to be included in this permit, <br />and the structures will remain after reclamation of the permit. A separate tract of the permit area lies south of Tomichi <br />Creek, and has not yet been disturbed by mining. <br />The site is being excavated down below groundwater level, producing a series of ponds. These ponds may eventually be <br />come one pond when the dividing dikes are removed. The final pit slopes will be graded to 3:1, topsoiled and vegetated. <br />The site was toured to inventory the extent of the pits, the pit slope gradients, the amount and condition of topsoil, items <br />to be removed during reclamation, and other reclamation tasks still to perform, according to the approved reclamation plan. <br />Tasks still to perform include: pond slope grading, structural removal, debris removal and disposal, equipment removal, <br />elimination of compaction, topsoil replacement, and revegetation. These tasks will be estimated and sent to the operator <br />for review. The operator is reminded that after notification, there is a 60-day period during which any required bond <br />increase is to be submitted.
