Johnson Subject: 2014 On-Site Inspection of Miles Sand & Gravel Company, Shine Facility Wahl Extraction Area, WDNR Permit No. 70-013024 Jefferson County, Washington File No. 1355-035-00 This letter presents the results of the quarterly on-site inspection of the Shine Facility operated by Miles Sand & Gravel Company (Miles). Conditions 7 and 9 of Jefferson County Ordinance 08-706-04, amended by Jefferson County Ordinance 09-1213-10, requires the submittal of a quarterly inspection report regarding mining operations located within a designated Aquifer Recharge Area. The intent is for this letter to satisfy the requirements of Conditions 7 and 9 and to present the results of the quarterly inspections in 2014. On January 16, 2015, Li Wang, a hydrogeologist with GeoEngineers, Inc. (GeoEngineers), inspected the Wahl Extraction Area (WEA) within the Shine facilities. Ryan Ransavage, Environmental Specialist for Miles, provided a tour of the operations. Mr. Ransavage showed the boundaries of the permitted excavation area. The boundaries of the permitted area are marked with PVC posts that extend 6 to 10 feet above ground. These posts were readily observed from a distance. The excavations, plant operations, and mining activities were all occurring within the marked boundary. No reclamation was occurring within the WEA since the extraction process had commenced in April 2013. Stumps and overburden soils salvaged from excavated areas have been stockpiled on site for future reclamation. The Washington Department of Natural Resources Permit No. 70-013024 for the WEA was approved on May 2, 2012. The permitted area encompasses a total of 183 acres, which includes the following: ■ 156 acres in the mining area (137 acres will be disturbed during the mining process, 19 acres of setbacks, buffers and wetlands will remain “as-is”). ■ 9 acres for the utility and maintenance road easement. ■ 18 acres for the Operations and Processing Facility.
