LPa(,e 2) <br />MINE ID -: OR PROSPE=.C1'1NG ID,-:: M-1931-"'6 <br />INSPECTION DATE: 9'19x09 INSPECTOR'S INI DIALS: ECS <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This was a routine monitoring inspection for the I-Aberg Pit. an active Yuma County 1 i?c sand and gravel <br />permit. conducted by Fric Scott of DRNIS. DRy1S followed Yuma County Road and Bridge representatives <br />I toward McOnnis, and Kent I'wiss to the site. and observed the site \yith them at approximately 1400. <br />Yuma County has approximately -ii acres currently permitted at this location. Mining is almost completed at <br />the site with only a small active area remaining at the north end ofthe site. Concurrent reclamation is \\ell <br />underway. The sloping is complete in previously disturbed areas of the site. and vcgetation is begimmIlL to <br />establish. The mining site identification sign was observed at the L•ckber- site entrance. and t-post permit <br />boundary markers were in place. <br />The only issue noted at this site is that as the vegetation begins to establish the slopes, are beginninu to erode in <br />some areas, and sonic slope repair will be required at this point before reseeding. This is most pronounced in <br />the southeastern area of the permit. Sunk terracing of the larger slopes may be also required to prevent soil <br />erosion until vegetation can fully establish. Sonic amendment oI the poor soils on site. such as 1ertilizcr and <br />additional organic material, would likely help \ e;Jetation to establish on disturbed areas and speed the <br />reclamation and final rclcaSc of"the site <br />s4 <br />: V6 <br />, :. . <br />Photo i - rcpresentatiyc photo of actiyc area located at north end of pcrnlit.
