(Page 2) MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: tin-1987-038 INSPECTION DATE: 1 gJ9in8 INSPECTOR, S INITIALS: -KAE OBSERVATIONS This inspection was conducted in response to a permit amendment application for an existing 112c permit which proposes to add 15.6 acres to the existing permit area. Present at the inspection were Kate Pickford, DRMS, Matt Carnahan. Consultant for the operator, and Peter Kearl, Oldcastle SW Group, Inc. dba Four Corners Materials. Weather at the time of the inspection was clear, calm, and approximately 35 degrees. 2. The proposed, affected areas to be added to the permit area are located along the west side, along the northeast side and along the southeast side of the current permit area. The proposed areas along the northeast southeast sides are currently pasture land. The area to the west consists of wooded land adjacent to the west boundary of the property. 3. Groundwater is expected to be encountered during the mining of the west portion of the amended area, which will result in the necessity of dewatering the pit. Cottonwoods are located on the west side of the property line and there is likelihood that these trees would be impacted by dewatering of the pit in this area. There are already monitoring wells installed in this area. Parameters for a groundwater monitoring plan were discussed, including potential mitigation measures to be taken to prevent impacts to the trees. These issues will be further addressed during the adequacy review of the proposed amendment application. 4. No conditions observed during this inspection would prevent the application from being approved for the additional acreage to this permit. I & E Contact Address Cc: ? CE ? BL NAME: Peter Kearl ? FS ?
