This inspection was conducted as part of the Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety's 4-year <br />monitoring program. Present at the inspection were Kate Pickford, DRMS, and Bruce Neil, Neil's <br />Excavation. Weather at the time of the inspection was cloudy, calm, and approximately 60 degrees. <br />2. The site is accessed off of CR 502 just west of CR 501. Disturbance at the site consists of an excavation <br />into the side of an embankment. On top of the embankment is pine forest. The floor of the pit contains <br />multiple stockpiles of material. The embankment resulting from the removal of materials is graded to a <br />slope of approximately 3H:1 V. The designated vegetation is not well established on the slope. Mr. Neil <br />stated that periodically sheep graze the slope and remove much of the desired, established <br />vegetation. <br />3. Some erosional rilling is present the slope. This is likely a result of the vegetation not being established <br />and the use of the area by sheep may exacerbate the situation. In order for the required reclamation <br />vegetation to become established, it may be necessary to keep grazing animals off of the slope for a <br />few years. The Operator should take measures, in the meantime to stabilize the slope where rilling is <br />present, to prevent the development of a deeper erosional feature that may require additional grading <br />of the slope. <br />4. All other conditions at the site appear to be within the guidelines of the approved application. A bond <br />calculation will be conducted separately to determine whether the current bond is adequate for <br />reclamation of the site. <br />I & E Contact Address Cc: ? <br />?
