PERMIT #: M-1987-116 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: PSH <br />INSPECTION DATE: September 2, 2010 <br />which is not consistent with the approved mine plan. It appears the southwest boundary marker is located <br />incorrectly. As noted on page 1, the Operator must verify the boundary marker locations and remark the <br />boundary as needed. <br />(FN) Financial Warranty: <br />The Division currently holds a financial warranty of $30,700, which is adequate to complete the reclamation of <br />the site based on the observations from this inspection. <br />(MP) Gen. Compliance With Mine Plan: <br />The Siskin site is permitted for 9.0 acres of disturbance and has an intermittent status. No mining was observed <br />during this inspection. Material from the site was hauled one month prior to this inspection according to Mr. <br />Mugrage. Evidence of recent highwall excavation was observed in the southeast corner of the pit. A product <br />stockpile was located north of the pit floor. The current disturbance consists of a main pit and a hillside <br />excavation located south of the main pit. The main pit highwalls were nearly vertical and ranged from six to ten <br />feet deep. The pit floor was dry. No erosion was noted and the site appeared stable. <br />(RS) Reclamation Success: <br />The approved post mine land use for the site is rangeland. Reclamation activities have not begun at the site. <br />Stockpiles of topsoil are located to the southwest and north of the main pit. No noxious weeds were observed <br />during this inspection. <br />(SM) Signs and Markers: <br />The required mine entrance sign was not observed during the inspection. The Division received photographic <br />proof of a new mine sign on September 7, 2010. <br />Enclosure: GPS Survey Map <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------------- Y (BG) BACKFILL & GRADING---------- NA (EX) EXPLOSIVES--------- NA <br />PROCESSING WASTE/TAILING---- NA (SF) PROCESSING FACILITIES------- NA (TS) TOPSOIL---------------- Y <br />GENL MINE PLAN COMPLIANCE- Y (FW) FISH & WILDLIFE----------------- N (RV) REVEGETATION---- NA <br />SIGNS AND MARKERS----------------- PB (SP) STORM WATER MGT PLAN---- NA (SB) COMPLETE INSP---- Y <br />OVERBURDEN/DEV.
