Dept. of Natural Resources <br />Your notice of inspection received. 1 am sopSrrq that 1 missed you. <br />~tef. #1 'rho overcasting of waste rock is essential in any operation. <br />The dimension stone industry requires stone to be free of cracks <br />seams and deformities. Block patterns rnust be uniform. r•his does <br />necessitate a selection and culling process, and a du,~p. <br />'Phere is one thing that puzzles me. Last year the inspector <br />thought the overcast area was satisfactory, and this year the dump <br />is on-going end in violation. For the life of me, I cant see any <br />change ire appearance at a 11. The size, shape, and area has stayed <br />the same. The only possible e>:planation must be that 1 had listed <br />the area as being ~} acre. This ~~;a~ jud,.e on an trial photo looking <br />straight dosn. your man mu.t hive looked a~ he dump on the c,5 <br />degree angle and said this must be an acre or twc, and is enlarging <br />at an alarming rate. 4ctually the area v;as file same last year. <br />ow, I am sure if tenpeople measured this,there r,ouid ten different <br />eva~zations. if this dump area measurement figure is all important <br />1 would sug est that you make it, ana that each ye~.r you ma'.ce it. <br />:his is probably theonly w y to avoid a controversy~or ruaking ciountains <br />out of mote hills. ~ am not tryi.n: to be say astic, but it appears <br />to me that you should do it and 1 will accept your figure. <br />T'othing is being dumped in the caest end of the overcast. l"e are <br />working is the east end of the quarry and aro dumping there. !-Je <br />should stay there for 5 years or more <br />Ref. t~4 Our blasting proceedures are excellent. I'o dyna~aiting, <br />no flying rock. ~_mly black povrder and expertly controlled. '.e do <br />have expensive machinery on the same ledge very close to granite <br />being quarried. I also have my house and family at the base of the <br />mountain. ~aarrying is simple, a big block is reliedeland it slides <br />down to the level landing. Landing, is large and catches everything. <br />Lig block is quarried into small liftable blocks. Good usable blocks <br />are loaded on trucks for town. small unusalhle chunks are placed to <br />make landing bigger or are slid down the overcast area in selected <br />safe reas. <br />^ketch and photo is enclosed. <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />
