(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: M-1979-991 <br />INSPECTION DATE: July ln. 9nng INSPECTOR=S INITIALS: DR9 <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This inspection was conducted by David Bird of DRMS as result of Succession of Operator notices filed for mines <br />owned by Robinson Brick Company for transfer of ownership to General Shale Brick, Inc. Present during the <br />inspection were Greg Knell and Jason McGraw of Robinson Brick. The site is located approximately 2 miles <br />northwest of Sedalia in Douglas 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 />One relatively small product stockpile is present on site, and a deeply incised pit of approximate dimensions 700 <br />ft long by 175 ft wide by 65 ft deep. <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 $39,000 currently on file has been determined to be adequate and no further action <br />by the operator is required. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: Marvin Myers, Jr. <br />OPERATOR: General Shale Brock.
