Records were checked on <br />May 23rd and the site was inspected on May 24, 2012. The inspection primarily covered the loadout, as the mine <br />site was too muddy to access, except for the north culvert (set of two pipes). The weather was cloudy. No snow <br />was on the ground, but it was very muddy at the mine site and slightly muddy at the loadout. <br />A two -track trail leads to the property to the north of the loadout, and several tracks were seen on the roads on the <br />loadout area. <br />HYDROLOGIC BALANCE - Rule 4.05: <br />At the mine site, the north culvert (two pipes) was not clogged, and no other problems were identified. <br />The Best Management Practices for sediment control from the reclaimed pond area are functional, but some <br />maintenance is required: the silt fence needs to be keyed in better. Also, additional BMPs are needed below the <br />pile of soil at the southeast corner of the bridge. <br />GENERAL MINE PLAN COMPLANCE: <br />The loadout was found to be in general compliance with the permit. Not enough of the site was observed to <br />determine if it is in compliance. Trash (e.g., scrap metal, tires) needs to be removed at the loadout. <br />Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 7 <br />Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 4 <br />Page 2 of 7 <br />
