Present during the <br />inspection were Greg Knell and Jason McGraw of Robinson Brick. The site is located just northeast of the West <br />Alameda Parkway overpass at highway C-470 in Jefferson County. <br />Material mined at this site consists of clay that is ultimately used to produce brick. The rock is generally poorly <br />consolidated but occasional blasting, if needed, is handled by an independent contractor. <br />The mine operates on the same schedule as Robinson's other properties. Rock is excavated during a <br />"campaign", a period of several weeks to months during which material is stripped from the pit and stockpiled <br />on site for later removal and transport to processing facilities for production of bricks. Removal of the product <br />occurs intermittently, over time frames up to several years, as dictated by market demands. <br />Five product stockpiles are on site with an estimated 6,600 linear feet of material that would need to be <br />reshaped to attain a 3:1 slope configuration on the stockpiles as specified in the reclamation plan. <br />The site is clean and maintained in good condition. Signs and markers are adequate, and no equipment, <br />structures, or refuse are present. Storm water controls appear to be functioning properly, the hydrologic <br />balance appears to be unimpacted, and no erosional issues or noxious weed problems are apparent. <br />The financial warranty of $50,000 currently on file has been recalculated, and the new financial warranty is <br />$73,431. This has been cited as a problem on page 2, and operator has 90 days, or until November 20, 2008, to <br />provide the balance due. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: Marvin Myers Jr. <br />OPERATOR: General Shale Brick Inc <br />STREET: P 0 Box 3547 <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP: Inhntnn City.
