PERMIT #: M- 1992 -016
INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: TC1
INSPECTION DATE: August 20, 2013
OBSERVATIONS
This inspection was requested by the Operator, Rocky Mountain Materials & Asphalt, Inc. as the result of an Acreage
Release (AR) request of 110 acres received by the Division on June 24, 2013. Rocky Mountain Materials & Asphalt, Inc.
was represented during the inspection by Tom Smith. The Penrose Ranch site is located approximately four miles east of
Florence, CO off State Hwy 120.
Inspection:
Permit signs were displayed as required (see Photos 1 and 2).
The primary focus of this inspection was to determine releasable acreage.
The entire site was driven to inspect the status of each of the eight areas delineated on the maps included in the release
request. The following table summarizes the observations made during the inspection. Copies of maps used to take notes
during the inspection are attached and labeled as Figures I and II.

$ See detailed discussion below.
Area 1: This area is releasable. However, the Division is concerned about re- disturbing this area given its proximity to
active mining operations. The Operator will need to monitor this area carefully.
Area 2: Most of this area is releasable. There is an active sedimentation pond receiving runoff from the processing area.
As such, the area surrounding the sediment pond will require on -going maintenance and cannot be released. The Division
considers the area not potentially impacted by the sediment pond to be releasable. If the Operator were to re- delineate this
area to exclude the sediment pond area, the Division would consider those portions releasable. In addition, the Division is
concerned about re- disturbing north and east sides of the releasable area given its proximity to active mining operations.
The Operator would also need to monitor this area carefully.
Areas 3 — 5: These areas are releasable.
Area A: This area is releasable with the exception of the remaining stockpile. The stockpile is unstable and will continue
to erode, acting as a sediment source for the surrounding area during storm events. The stockpile will need to be removed
and the bare ground revegetated prior to this area being releasable.
Area B: This area would be releasable upon removal of the equipment stored here, assuming the removal would cause
minimal disturbance.
Area C: This area is releasable. Unfortunately, it is delineated with Area B (combined 30.3 acres) and cannot be
released without re- delineating the area or removing the aforementioned equipment.
Area D: This area is releasable.
