BLOCK VII: Type of Financial Assurance Mechanism(s): Fill in the type of mechanism(s) that are on file. PRC § 3803 and SMGB Financial
Assurance Guideline number 10 describe Surety Bonds, Trust Funds, or Irrevocable Letters of Credit as acceptable financial assurance
mechanisms for non-governmental entity operators. For surface mining operations owned and operated by state and local government
entities, Surety Bonds, Trust Funds, Irrevocable Letters of Credit, Pledges of Revenue, and Budget Set Aside are acceptable financial
assurance mechanisms.
State the Financial Assurance Mechanism(s) document number(s). State the dollar amount of each Financial Assurance Mechanism(s)
currently on file. State the date of expiration of the Financial Assurance Mechanism(s) currently on file. State the date of approval for the
most recent lead agency approved Financial Assurance Mechanism(s) on file. State the total dollar amount of mechanisms held for
reclamation.
Indicate if any Financial Assurance Mechanisms are pending review by the lead agency and the date and amount of submittal to the lead
agency.
Indicate if there has been a change of operator of record since the last inspection and, if so, note the date the change occurred and
whether the new operator has signed any document acknowledging reclamation responsibility under the approved reclamation plan and
if the new operator has posted a Financial Assurance Mechanism. If a replacement Financial Assurance Mechanism has not been
posted, indicate the status of the new operator’s replacement Financial Assurance Mechanism.Per PRC § 2773.1(c) and Guideline
number 19 of the SMGB’s Financial Assurance Guidelines, when operatorship is transferred, “the original financial assurance must
remain in effect until the lead agency has approved, following department review, the replacement assurances provided by the
successor operator.”
The Financial Assurance amount must be adjusted and approved annually to account for new lands disturbed by surface mining
operations and lands to be disturbed in coming year, inflation, and reclamation of lands accomplished in accordance with the approved
Reclamation Plan (PRC § 2773.1(a)(3) and SMGB Financial Assurance Guideline #16). In order to determine what adjustments, if any,
are appropriate to the Financial Assurance Mechanism amount, each mine operator must submit annually a revision of the written
Financial Assurance Cost Estimate to the Lead Agency (PRC § 3804(c)).Provide the date of the operator’s most recent revision of the
Financial Assurance Cost Estimate to the Lead Agency and where appropriate, provide a status of the pending Financial Assurance Cost
Estimate. Provide the date and amount of the most recently approved Financial Assurance Cost Estimate.
Also indicate if the Financial Assurance Cost Estimate is under appeal to the lead agency or whether it has been appealed to State Mining
and Geology Board as described in PRC § 2770(e).

A minor modification to the reclamation plan
(MIN15-0001) was approved on July 28,
2015. The changes were non-substantial
deviations from the approved plan (see
additional sheet for a summary of the
changes). The revised reclamation plan was
forwarded to OMR, pursuant to §3504(a).
a) 269 acres
b) 131 acres
c) 131 acres
d) N/A
According to the submitted Annual
Mining Operation Report, current
estimations by the operator shows a
total of 42 acres as being currently
disturbed.
Max. height of highway will be at 565 ft.,
with benches that are 50 ft. high and 20
ft. wide. Final and working cut slope
inclination is 1.5H:1V. Final reclaimed
fill slopes will not exceed 2:1. The
overall max. slope angle (from top of
mine to mine floor) is 1.8:1.
Working cut slopes are slightly
steeper than 1.5:1.
Erosion and sediment control methods will be used during all phases of
operation and reclamation to minimize erosion of soils and sediments.Erosion control methods include, but are not limited to, the use of berms, silt
fences, sediment ponds, revegetation, and hay bales. Diversion ditchesaround disturbed areas and roadway ditches will be constructed and
maintained. Flow control structures and velocity breaks will be constructed onand around slope faces. All finished cut and fill slopes will be hydroseeded.
No erosion control measures were installed prior to inspection. The large area
of disturbance, steep slopes and soil conditions make the site susceptible toerosion. The lower pond is designed to capture runoff; however, due to thelack of capacity, the pond requires regular clearing.Aggregate was applied to mine roads and drainage channels during the pastyear; however, erosion control measures throughout the site arerecommended.
Based on the reclamation plan, two 'siltation'
ponds would be created; one at the 550'
elevation and one at the 450' elevation. Side
slopes of ponds will be maintained at 2:1.
Due to site conditions and processing procedures,
additional ponds have been constructed, more than the
two ponds indicated in the reclamation plan. Ponds are
located within the boundaries of the approvedreclamation plan.
Construction of 'siltation' ponds include
stockpiling topsoil and overburden
around the perimeter of the ponds,
between the riparian areas and the
quarry area, to control
erosion/sedimentation and direct runoff
into the ponds.
The Northwestern Pond Turtle was identified as being located within the lower
ponds of the mine site. Water diversions from the ponds has the potential to
affect the habitat during the dry season (March to November). As a result,processing water is provided by off-site groundwater wells delivered via apipeline.
Make-up water to the site is provided by
waterlines. No impacts to area wildlife or
habitat had been identified.

BLOCK VIII: INSTRUCTIONS FOR EACH DATA COLUMN:
Potential Reclamation Plan Requirements (Column 1): Under CCR § 3504.5(f), “Inspections may include, but shall not
be limited to the following: the operation’s horizontal and vertical dimensions, volumes of materials stored on the site; slope
angles of stock piles, waste piles and quarry walls; potential geological hazards; equipment and other facilities; samples of
materials; photographic or other electronic images of the operation; any measurements or observations deemed necessary
by the inspector or the lead agency to ensure the operation is in compliance with Public Resources Code Chapter 9.”
Column 1 provides a list of items that may be included in the approved reclamation plan, either expressly or by reference as
described in PRC § 2772(d), which may include conditions of approval, other permit requirements and supplementary
documents, including environmental documents, prepared for the project pursuant to Division 13 (commencing with Section
21000).
It is not expected that all reclamation plans will include each item of Section VIII, or be limited to the items listed. Items in
Column 1 that are not operative requirements in the reclamation plan may not need to be addressed by the inspection.
Operative reclamation plan requirements not listed in Items 1 through 12 may be listed in Item 13, under “Other
Reclamation Plan Requirements.”
Reclamation Plan Requirements (Column 2): Prior to field inspection, it is recommended that the inspector review the
approved reclamation plan and any amendments, as well as any other documents included by reference, including
conditions of approval, other permit requirements and supplementary documents, such as environmental documents
prepared for the project pursuant to Division 13 (commencing with Section 21000) that specifically relate to reclamation of
the mine site. The most recently approved Financial Assurance Cost Estimate and any pending or ongoing enforcement
actions should also be reviewed. Conditions of approval that relate to facility operations solely of local concern, such as
hours of operation, noise, and dust control are not subject to the inspection.
Column 2 is intended to provide the inspector a place to match any items noted in Column 1 with those items included in the
approved reclamation plan either expressly or by reference as described in PRC § 2772(d), which may include conditions of
approval, other permit requirements and supplementary documents, including environmental documents prepared for the
project pursuant to Division 13 (commencing with § 21000). Also note any Interim Management Plan (IMP) requirements
where the mine is subject to an IMP pursuant to PRC § 2770(h).
Indicate the source document for the reclamation plan requirements at the end of the entry in parenthesis; i.e. (COA) (POO)
(EIR) (WDR) (SWPPP), etc. Conditions of approval that relate to facility operations solely of local concern, such as hours
of operation, noise, and dust control should not be included in Column 2. If items listed in Column 1 of Section VIII of the
form are not included in the reclamation plan or other documents included by reference, write not applicable or “NA” in
Column 2.
Specific reclamation requirements may not apply to an operation at the time of inspection, but they are important to be
aware of to ensure current activity at the site will not prohibit reclamation in accordance with the approved reclamation plan.
A copy of the Surface Mining and Reclamation Act of 1975 and 1993 SMGB regulations may be obtained at
http://www.conservation.ca.gov/omr/lawsandregulations/Pages/SMARA.aspx.
Site Conditions and Compliance Issues (Column 3): Describe current site conditions and compliance issues noted for
both operating and reclaimed surfaces that pertain to the reclaimed condition of the mining site. Block IX is provided for
additional space to describe site conditions and/or compliance issues. Attach additional sheets as necessary.
Evaluations of slope stability and engineered compaction should be prepared by qualified professionals only. PRC §
2774(b)) states “The lead agency may cause an inspection to be conducted by a state licensed geologist, state licensed
civil engineer, state licensed landscape architect, or state licensed forester, who is experienced in land reclamation and
who has not been employed by a surface mining operation within the jurisdiction of the lead agency in any capacity during
the previous 12 months.”

Minimal topsoil is available at the site. All salvageable topsoil
suitable for revegetation will be removed as a separate layer,
prior to mining, which would be scraped off to the perimeters of
the mining area. Due to the insufficient amount of topsoil to
revegetate the site, fine sand/clay/silt material from the
processing plant will be mixed with overburden materials to
make a soil-like materials for reclamation. Salvaged topsoil
and suitable growth media will be clearly identified to
distinguish them from mine waste dumps. Spoil and topsoil
stockpiles will be constructed with shallow slope faces to
minimize erosion and facilitate access. Stockpiles will also be
hydroseeded with a grass mixture during the rainy season or
shall be protected by other equally effective measures to
prevent water and wind erosion and to discourage weeds.
Stockpiled overburden and the suitable growth media will be
re-distributed and shaped to prevent erosion, direct runoff into
siltation ponds, and to mimic previous topography. reshaped
areas to be planted will be scarified 8" to 12". Stockpiled
topsoil will be applied at 3" to 12", the thickness of soil will vary
with deeper depths targeted for tree planting and shallower
depths for grassland areas.
Salvaged topsoil had not been
identified at the mine site.
Trees and shrub stocking rates will match pre-mining levels of 50 per
acre. Oak, pine, toyon, buckeye, bay laurel and other native species
will be collected from the area and broadcast over the reclaimed areas
each fall. Pine and oak seedlings will be purchased for reclamation
and will be planted at 100 per acre during reclamation. A coast seed
mixture consisting of brome, California Oats, Zorro Fescue, commom
Vetch, Crimson Clover, and California field flowers will be planted
between September-November with mulch and fertilizer to achieve a75% coverage performance standard.Monitoring will be conducted on an annual basis for five years.Monitoring shall be considered complete if during the last two yearsthere has been no human intervention. If that intervention is necessaryafter year three, the monitoring will be continued. A report on the
monitoring and maintenance program will be submitted each calendar
year throughout the monitoring period.
No reclamation or revegetation
has been initiated.
The reclamation plan requires that all buildings and structures to be
dismantled and removed from the site, prior to final mine closure.
An unpermitted and vacant modular home at the
mine site had been removed.
The reclamation plan requires that all equipment to be dismantled
and removed from the site, prior to final mine closure.
Scrap metal, equipment and parts continue to accumulate at the site. The operatorindicates periodic removal; but, accumulation of materials exceeds removal.
Opening encountered during mining will be recorded, mapped, and controlledby berms and warnings until the opening can be permanently closed.No openings have been reported.

OBSERVATIONS
The mine was active during inspection with mineral processing and export. A portion of the
mine site sitting above the processing area and below the siltation discharge ponds is in the
process of being graded and leveled. The area is approximately 2 acres. The operator indicated
that the site will be used for stockpiling of overburden (see photo 12).
A minor amendment/modification of the reclamation plan (MIN15‐0001) was approved by the
County on July 28, 2015. With approval of the modification, two of the corrective measures
identified in the 2014 Inspection Report had been adequately addressed. The approved
modification included the following:
o Updated mapping delineating the approved project boundaries;
o Addition of “aggregate” in the description of materials to be mined, consistent with the
Use Permit amendment (MIN 05‐01) previously approved by the County;
o Updated mapping and description of the final reclamation slope angles defined with the
geotechnical report prepared for the mine.
The current financial assurance amount on file with the County is $145,000, approved in August
2010. The latest financial assurance cost estimate, approved on September 2, 2014, identified
$391,234.64 in reclamation liabilities for the mine. The financial assurance on file is inadequate
to perform reclamation of the site. Previous notice of the inadequate FAM had been provided
to the operator. The operator indicated that they will incrementally increase the financial
assurance amount. A Certificate of Deposit account for $55,000, payable to the County and
Office of Mine Reclamation was opened on June 17, 2015; however, the original CD Encashment
Letter was not provided to the County for acceptance.
The previous Financial Assurance Cost Estimate for the mine was approved on September 2,
2014. Pursuant to County and State regulations, financial assurances are required for a surface
mining operation to ensure reclamation is performed in accordance with the surface mining
operations approved reclamation plan. Further, pursuant to Section 13‐109 of the Butte County
Code, the amount of financial assurances required of a surface mining operation for any one
year shall be adjusted annually to account for new lands disturbed by surface mining operations,
inflation, and reclamation of lands accomplished in accordance with the approved reclamation
plan.
Additionally, the number of disturbed acres identified in approved FACE is 42 acres. Based on
recent estimates and the 2014 Mining Operation Annual Report, the total amount of disturbed
acreage is approximately 76 acres. The updated FACE must be amended to reflect the current
disturbed acreage at the site.
A warning letter from the County was sent to the operator regarding haul truck usage of Table
Mountain Boulevard, north of the mine entrance. The letter indicated that loaded trucks used
the Table Mountain Blvd. (north of the main entrance) on September 15th, and that such usage
was in violation of Condition #24 of the Mining Permit (MIN 05‐01), which states: ‘No truck
traffic shall be permitted on Table Mountain Boulevard north of the Mine Access Road. All truck
traffic shall access the mine site from SR‐70 at Garden Drive.’ (see attached)

Notice of pending removal from the AB3098 List was sent by the Office of Mine Reclamation to
the operator on June 11, 2015 due to ongoing violations. The notice indicated that the mine
would be removed from the July 2015 AB3098 List. A review of the list shows that the mine is
currently still on the list. (see attached)
An area, approximately 1‐acre and located adjacent to the scale house, was cleared of
vegetation and graded in the past year (see photo 10). The area is being used for finished
product stockpiling. Cleared vegetation included an unknown quantity oak trees.
A new aggregate pit, approximately ½ acre in size, is located outside the permitted mine area,
and was established during the past year (see photos 5 & 6). A ¼ mile access road was recently
graded to the pit site. According to the plant manager, aggregate from the pit is only being used
as road base on haul roads and to line drainage channels within the permitted mine area. The
plant manager indicated there have been no processing or exporting of the aggregate. There is
currently a backhoe, jack‐hammer attachment, and wood‐pallets located within the pit area.
An area approximately 2‐acres in size, located north of the upper ponds, and approximately 100‐
feet below in elevation from the upper ponds was graded in the past year. The area is used to
store clay deposits recovered from the upper discharge ponds.
An “aesthetically pleasing fence” is required to be installed where the quarry is visible from
Cherokee Road, pursuant to Mitigation Measure #1 of MIN 05‐01 and Condition #25 of UP 93‐
36. The fence requires additional native vegetation to be planted in front of the fence, including
red bud, gray pine, and manzanita. Fencing with vegetation and irrigation lines were initially
installed by the previous operator of the mine (see photo 3). Soon after planting, nearly all
plantings died. No re‐planting of vegetation occurred, as prescribed by the Mitigation Measure.
Additionally, previously installed irrigation lines have deteriorated and are unusable.
An unpermitted and vacant mobile home located at the site for several years was removed this
past year. The presence of the mobile home at the site was previously ordered to be removed
in 2007, as a part of the hearing for MIN 05‐01. According to the plant manager, the mobile
home was demolished and hauled to the landfill for disposal.
Equipment parts and junk including, tires, scrap metal, screens, belts, etc. continue to
accumulate throughout the mine site, and at the designated equipment storage area adjacent to
the road to the upper ponds. Equipment, parts and scraps have also begun to accumulate at
three separate locations along the haul road between the mine entrance from Cherokee Road
and the scale house. Per Condition #23 of MIN 05‐01 and Condition #18 of UP 93‐36 requires
construction materials, equipment, tires, or other mining related items that are broken, in
disrepair, and not to be used in future operations, shall be promptly removed from the property
and properly disposed of.
The Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board performed an inspection of the mine
on October 2, 2015. The inspection resulted in a number of violations to the General Permit for
Storm Water Discharges Associated with Industrial Activities, and to Waste Discharge
Requirements (Order No. R5‐2003‐0096) (see attached Notice of Violations). Pursuant to
Condition #22 of UP 93‐36, the operator shall comply with all other State and local statutes,
ordinances, and regulations. Due to the noncompliance with the CVRWQCB’s General Permit
2015 Annual Inspection Report Morris Ravine Mine (91‐04‐0015)
3
and WDRs, the operator is in violation of Condition #22 of UP 93‐36. In order to bring the mine
into compliance with Condition #22, the operator shall follow all corrective measures identified
by the Board. Failure to follow corrective measures may result in revocation of approved mining
permits.
VIOLATIONS/CORRECTIVE MEASURES
1. (Violation). Submit an updated Financial Assurance Cost Estimate, pursuant to Butte County
Code Section 13‐109(e) and California Public Resources Code Section 2773.1. The financial
assurance cost estimate shall account for the cost of reclamation of existing lands disturbed by,
and accessory to surface mining operations, in accordance with the approved reclamation plan,
and shall also account for inflation and anticipated activities during the upcoming year.
2. (Violation). Financial Assurance. The operator shall submit financial assurances in the amount
equal to, or greater than, the amount shown on the latest approved Financial Assurance Cost
Estimate.
3. (Violation). Visual Fencing. The operator shall provide a landscape plan showing the aesthetic
fencing and vegetation plantings along Cherokee Road, in accordance with Mitigation Measure
#1 of MIN 05‐01. The plan shall describe the native shrubs and trees that will be planted, and
include a program for planting, monitoring activities, and a replanting. Once the plan has been
approved by the Butte County Development Services Department, the operator shall implement
the approved plan.
4. (Violation). General Storm Water Permit and WDRs. The operator shall comply with the
corrective actions indicated on the October 16, 2015 and November 2, 2015 Notice of Violations
issued by the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board. The operator shall provide a
written progress report to the Butte County Development Services Department identifying the
measures being taken by the operator to correct violations and a timeframe for compliance.
5. (Corrective Measure). Truck traffic on Table Mountain Road. It is the operator’s responsibility
to inform truck drivers of permit requirements, including not using Table Mountain Road, north
of the haul road entrance.

NOTICE OF VIOLATION, AND TRANSMITTAL OF INSPECTION REPORT,
WDID # 5R04I016040, MINERAL RESOURCES LLC, MORRIS RAVINE MINE
QUARRY, 1342 CHEROKEE ROAD, OROVILLE, BUTTE COUNTY
On 2 October 2015, Central Valley Water Board staff inspected the Mineral Resources
LLC facility located at 1342 Cherokee Road, Oroville, Butte County to evaluate
compliance with the General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with
Industrial Activities, Order No. 2014-0057-DWQ (General Permit). As the owner of the
facility, MRLLC Investors LTD, and Mr. Chris Van Veldhuizen, as the legally responsible
person, you are both legally responsible for complying with all elements of the General
Permit for this facility. Staff observed several aspects of the operation that violates the
facility’s storm water permit as discussed below. A copy of the inspection report
including photographs is enclosed for your information. The report includes: 1) a
summary of the inspector’s findings, 2) the identification of potential storm water
problems and 3) an evaluation of the implementation of your storm water pollution
prevention plan (SWPPP) and monitoring program. Please review the inspection report
carefully. You will need to take actions to address the issues described in the report
and summarized below
Mineral Resources LLC Morris Ravine Mine Quarry is regulated by the General Permit.
The General Permit prohibits the discharge of materials such as sediment laden storm
water, petroleum hydrocarbons such as fuels, oils, grease, waste oil, lubricating and
hydraulic oils and heavy metals. The General Permit requires the implementation of
numerous “minimum Best Management Practices (BMPs)”, including detailed good
housekeeping requirements, preventative maintenance, spill and leak prevention and
response, material handling and waste management, erosion and sediment controls,
employee training programs, and quality assurance and record keeping. The General
Permit also requires that you prepare, implement, inspect, maintain and update a Storm

Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) that meets certain pollution control
technology requirements. Your facility is not using adequate control technologies and is
not in compliance with the General Permit. Your latest SWPPP is inadequate and must
be revised in order to comply with the General Permit.
Violations
III. Discharge Prohibitions C of the General Permit states: “Industrial storm water
discharges and authorized non-storm water discharges that contain pollutants
that cause or threaten to cause pollution, contamination or nuisance as defined in
section 13050 of the Water Code, are prohibited.” The Discharger’s facility in its
current condition has pollutants of concern exposed to storm water that threaten
to cause pollution.
V. Effluent Limitations A of the General Permit states: “Dischargers shall
implement BMPs that comply with the BAT/BCT requirements of this General
Permit to reduce or prevent discharges of pollutants in their storm water
discharge in a manner that reflects best industry practice considering
technological availability and economic practicability and achievability.” The
Discharger has not implemented BMPs that comply with the BAT/BCT
requirements of the General Permit
X. Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan A SWPPP Elements of the General
Permit states: “Dischargers shall develop and implement a site-specific SWPPP
for each industrial facility covered by this General Permit that shall contain the
following elements”. 9. Annual Comprehensive Facility Compliance Evaluation
has not been completed in more than 2 years.
X. Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan B SWPPP Implementation and
Revisions of the General Permit states: “All Dischargers are required to
implement their SWPPP by July 1, 2015 or upon commencement of industrial
activity.” The Discharger did not implement their SWPPP by July 1, 2015.
X. Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan C.1 a. SWPPP Performance Standards
of the General Permit states: “Identify and evaluate all sources of pollutants that
may affect the quality of industrial storm water discharges and authorized
NSWDs.” The SWPPP discusses in generalist terms BMPs to be deployed to
control erosion and sediment transport, petroleum hydrocarbon and waste oil
spills and leaks, and heavy metals from materials, machinery and bone yard
stockpiles. The General Permit requires that the SWPPP must be site-specific.

Mine Quarry; no update to the SWPPP was ever done naming his replacement.
X. Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan E Site Map 3.c. of the General Permit
states: “Locations and descriptions of structural control measures (catch basins,
berms, detention ponds, secondary containment, diversion barriers, etc.) that
affect industrial storm water discharges, authorized NSWDs and/or run-on.” The
site map does not reflect current site conditions with respect to the process water
ponds/canals.
X. Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan H. Best Management Practices
1. Minimum BMPs of the General Permit states: “The Discharger shall, to the
extent feasible, implement and maintain all of the following minimum BMPs to
reduce or prevent pollutants in industrial storm water discharges. The
requirement to implement BMPs “to the extent feasible” requires Dischargers to
select, design, install and implement BMPs that reduce or prevent discharges of
pollutants in their storm water discharge in a manner that reflects best industry
practice considering technological availability and economic practicability and
achievability.” The Discharger is deficient in the following Minimum BMPs:
1a. Good Housekeeping; 1b. Preventative Maintenance; 1c. Spill and Leak
Prevention and Response; 1d. Material Handling and Waste Management;
1e. Erosion and Sediment Controls; 1f. Employee Training Program and
1g. Quality Assurance and Record Keeping.
X. Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan H. Best Management Practices
2. Advanced BMP a. of the General Permit states: “In addition to the minimum
BMPs described in Section X.H.1, the Discharger shall, to the extent feasible,
implement and maintain any advanced BMPs identified in Section X.G.
2.b, necessary to reduce or prevent discharges of pollutants in its storm water
discharge in a manner that reflects best industry practice considering
technological availability and economic practicability and achievability.
Specifically the advanced BMPs may include one or more of the following BMPs.
The Discharger is utilizing a storm water containment and discharge reduction
BMP. This facility captures sediment laden storm water from all areas of the
facility before discharging storm water to receiving waters. The storm water

retention pond, also known as C-Pond has accumulated a heavy sediment load
over time and must be evaluated to know if it has adequate storage capacity.
C-Pond is being utilized as a volume-based BMP so the Discharger must utilize
one of the following three methods: 1) The volume of runoff produced from an
85th percentile 24-hour storm event, as determined from local, historical rainfall
records; 2) The volume of runoff produced by the 85th percentile 24-hour storm
event, determined as the maximized capture runoff volume for the facility, from
the formula recommended in the Water Environment Federation’s Manual of
Practice or 3) The volume of annual runoff required to achieve 80% or more
treatment, determined in accordance with the methodology set forth in the latest
edition of California Stormwater Best Management Practices Handbook, using
local, historical rainfall records. All hydrologic calculations shall be certified by a
California licensed professional engineer in accordance with the Professional
Engineers Act.
X. Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan I. Monitoring Implementation Plan 1. of
the General Permit states: “An identification of team members assigned to
conduct the monitoring requirements.” Currently there is no Mineral Resources
LLC staff assigned to fulfill this General Permit requirement.
X. Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan I. Monitoring Implementation Plan
2.a. of the General Permit states: A description of the following in accordance
with Attachment H: a. Discharge locations. The Mineral Resources LLC Morris
Ravine Mine Quarry has eight sampling locations located in 4 different drainage
quadrants (A,B,C & D) yet only one sampling location (C-Pond to Morris Ravine)
has ever been sampled and reported in the Dischargers Annual Report(s). All
areas that discharge storm water must be sampled and the results reported in
the Annual Report.
Response
In response to this Notice of Violation, you must immediately complete the following:
Utilize better good housekeeping practices throughout the facility. Clean up all
trash and waste materials. Stabilize all exposed/disturbed soils, spoils, clay
wastes, reject materials and overburden utilizing an effective combination of
erosion and sediment control BMPs.
Ensure that site BMPs are effective and result in the reduction or elimination of
pollutants in storm water discharges and authorized non-storm water discharges
from industrial activities to the Best Available Technology Economically
Achievable/Best Conventional Pollutant Control Technology BAT/BCT standard;

Re: Trucks on Table Mountain Road, North of Mine entrance
Dear Mr. Van Veldhuizen:
Public works has noted and reported trucks exiting the mine’s access road and proceeding north
on Table Mountain Road. Just yesterday, September 15, 2015, we noted three fully loaded belly
dumps leaving the mines access road and proceeding North on Table Mountain Road. This is a
violation of Condition 25 of the mine’s use permit.
Please note that Condition 21 of the just referenced use permit contains language making it clear
that the volume of heavy loads, such as the mine produces, was not considered when Table
Mountain Road was designed and constructed. As such, 95% of the maintenance of a small
portion of Table Mountain road was assigned to the mine. Continued use of the road north of the
mine access subjects a larger amount of the road to the damage form heavy loads, meaning that
the mine may be responsible for a larger portion of the maintenance costs associated with this
road.
Please take whatever actions are necessary to insure the mine’s compliance with their permit.
Sincerely,
Shawn H. O’Brien
Assistant Director
