PERMIT #: M- 1992 -009 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: TC1 <br />INSPECTION DATE: September 19, 2012 <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This inspection was requested by the Operator, Gillette Sand and Gravel, Inc. as a follow -up to an Acreage <br />Release (AR) request of 3.24 acres received by the Division on February 9, 2012. Gillette Sand and Gravel was <br />represented during the inspection by Chris Pyles. The Gillette Pit site entrance is about '/ mile south of the <br />intersection of State Hwy 67 and County Road. <br />Inspection: <br />The primary focus of this inspection was to assess the status of the revegetation effort for area RE #9 (reference <br />Attachment A). Although the vegetation coverage compared to the previous inspection on March 9, 2012 is a <br />significant improvement (Photos 1 and 2), the vegetation is not yet established well enough to support a <br />decision to release this area. Some smaller areas were near releasable status, while much of the area only <br />demonstrated vegetation along the rows seeded by the seed drill. <br />Recommendations: <br />The Division recommends the Operator wait another growing season or two to allow the vegetation to become <br />established between the seed drill rows. <br />PHOTOGRAPHS <br />Photo 1.
