PERMIT #: M-2007-031 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: BMK <br />INSPECTION DATE: June 15, 2010 <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />The Division conducted a joint moitoring inspection of the site with Stephanie Carter of BLM.The site was not active at <br />the time of the inspection. Opeartor was notified but unable to attend.The entire permit acre of 1.7 acres was walked and <br />inspected.Permit sign was pterly posted at the access to the property. <br />A couple of ront end loaders were parked near the main pit area. Both the two western pits were holding a small amount <br />of water from the recent pricipitation the area received. The upper pit was receving some surface water seepage at the time <br />of the inspection. Since the site is with in the channel of the gulch, even with the diversion, one expects water to seep in <br />from the upper water shed for the operation. <br />Afew 5 gallon buckets, some empty some still holding what appeared to be spent solvent and oil were noted. Opertor must <br />collect all these five gallon buckets and place them in a protected area. <br />The road high wall that is utilized to acess the pit apperda a bit steepr than what is allowed and recommended in the <br />permit. Operator must lower the hih wall slopes to at least 2:1 . <br />The current warrnty of $6,352.00 is more than adeqaute to cover the cost of recalmation. With the exception of the above <br />minor problem, the operation is in compliance with the approved reclamation plan <br />GENERAL INSPECTION TOPICS <br />The following list identifies the environmental and permit parameters inspected and gives a categorical evaluation of each <br />RECORDS----------------------------------- Y (FN) FINANCIAL WARRANTY-------- Y (RD) ROADS------------------ Y <br />HYDROLOGIC BALANCE------------- PB (BG) BACKFILL & GRADING---------- PB (EX) EXPLOSIVES--------- NA <br />PROCESSING WASTE/TAILING---- NA (SF) PROCESSING FACILITIES------- NA (TS) TOPSOIL---------------- Y <br />GENL MINE PLAN COMPLIANCE- Y (FW) FISH & WILDLIFE----------------- Y (RV) REVEGETATION---- NA <br />SIGNS AND MARKERS----------------- Y (SP) STORM WATER MGT PLAN---- NA (SB) COMPLETE INSP---- NA <br />OVERBURDEN/DEV.
