Since the site was transferred from Mr. Hale to Pioneer in 2005, no <br />mining has been conducted by Pioneer. <br />All the disturbance of approximately 1.5 acres was done by the previous operator. The <br />only activity by pioneer was limited to area already affected. Activity included some <br />minor grading, road maintenance and weed control. <br />The entire permit area is fenced but there was no permit sign posted at the access to the <br />property. <br />When the site was inspected in 2006, there were no problems identified. However, if <br />Pioneer plans to commence mining operation the Division will need to be notified in <br />writing with the proposed mining plan. As it stands the current warranty of $3,750.00 is <br />deemed adequate to cover the current disturbance, if the activity increase it will not be <br />adequate. It is important for Pioneer to submit a written plan as to their <br />future plans prior to affecting additional acres. If there are no plans to start <br />operation in the near future the Division recommends Pioneer submit a revision to have <br />the site from active status to temporary cessation status. <br />The current pit slopes have been cut to approximate 2:1 or gentler and all the drainage <br />from the pit area is captured with in the pit. Fresh grading of slopes was noted along <br />the south facing slopes, with a small amount of processed material. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: MR MIKE AUSBURN <br />OPERATOR: POINEER SAND <br />STREET: P_0-BOX 7650 <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP: COI ORDAO SPRINGS.
