Inspection Report The Lakes of Lockwood II Mine 10-62 07-07-2021.docx
Hello Adam,
I inspected the permitted mine identified as The Lakes of Lockwood II Mine (10-62) on Wednesday,
7/7. At the time of my site visit, it appears that not all reclamation efforts have been completed to all
the affected areas within the mine. I have uploaded the inspection report and photos onto IBeam. In
addition, I have been informed by Wayne's Backhoe Service, Inc.that this property has a new owner.
Thank you!
