MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: 1~92~-~R1 <br />INSPECTION DATE: 1.4/~9/n~ INSPECTOR SINITIALS: -K.A'L <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />1. This inspection was performed as part of the Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety's four-year <br />monitoring program. Present at the inspection were Kate Pickford, DRMS, and Sam Keeling, operator. <br />Weather at the time of the inspection was clear, calm, and approximately 55 degrees. <br />2. A sign is posted at the entrance to the site and the boundaries are easily identifiable in the field. <br />Disturbance at the site consists of a pit with vertical highwalls, approximately. l 5 feet deep, stockpiles of <br />material, and an area outside the pit where equipment is stored. Approximately half of the area <br />proposed to be mined has been excavated. . <br />3. Some containers of used motor oil were present at the site, adjacent to the pit. Mr. Keeling stated that <br />the land owner places these containers at the site and he attempts to put the oil into a 55-gallon drum. <br />Mr. Keeling was advised that the containers require secondary containment to contain the oil in the <br />event that any of the containers leak. Placement of the containers into a stock tank was suggested. <br />Mr. Keeling stated he had an extra tank that he would bring to the site for this purpose. Therefore the <br />presence of these containers of oil is not cited as a problem on this report. <br />4. No problems were observed during this inspection and all activities at the site appear to fall under the <br />guidelines specified in the approved permit. A bond calculation will be conducted separately to <br />determine whether the current bond amount of $10,000.00 is adequate to cover reclamation costs at <br />the site. If the new calculation indicates that further bond is required, the operator will be notified of the <br />bond increase amount. <br />18~ E Contact Address Cc: ^ CE <br />^ BL <br />NAME: Sam Keeling ^ FS <br />^ HW <br />OPERATOR: Charles Bud KeeLit~g ^ HMWMD (CH) <br />STREET: P C~ Bex '~61 ^ WQCD (CH) <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP: I ry yPtc~ rn £31055 ^ Other: <br />
