Present during the <br />inspection were Greg Knell and Jason McGraw of Robinson Brick. The site is located just southeast 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 />As with other Robinson properties, various product stockpiles are on site from which material is drawn <br />periodically. There is standing water in the pit floor that appears to be derived from ground water, and the <br />operator says that the necessary permit application has been filed with OSE. Operator recently constructed a <br />new storm water catchment. There was some activity at the time of the inspection, with importation of inert fill <br />that had been properly noticed to the Division in 2004. <br />The site is clean and maintained in good condition. Signs and markers are adequate, storm water controls <br />appear to be functioning properly, no erosional issues are apparent, noxious weed problems are minimal, and <br />impacts to the hydrologic balance have been appropriately handled. <br />The financial warranty of $315,000 currently on file is adequate. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: Marvin Myers, Jr. <br />OPERATOR: General Shale Brick.
