Dept. of Narural Resources <br />Your notice cf inspection received. 1 am sorry that 1 r::issed you. <br />~-ef. f~l r'he overcasting of waste rock is essential in any operation. <br />The dimension stone ineustry requires stone to be free of cracks <br />seams and deformities. Block pc.tterns must be uniforrc. this does <br />necessitate a selection and culling process, and a du.up. <br />'Photo is one thing that puzzles me. Last year the inspector <br />thought the overcast area v,as satisfactory, a:_d chis year the dump <br />is on-going and in violation. For the life of me, I cant see any <br />charge fir. appearance at a 11. The size, shape, and area has stayed <br />the same.
