PERMIT #: M- 1982 -054 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: ECS <br />INSPECTION DATE: December 17, 2013 <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This was a routine monitoring inspection for the Eberhart Pit, a Kit Carson County 112c sand and gravel permit, <br />conducted by Eric Scott of DBMS. The mining site identification sign was observed at the site entrance. <br />Kit Carson County has 47 acres currently permitted at this location. The extent of the permit area was defined <br />by fences. Some concurrent reclamation is underway with excavation sloping, however, some disturbed areas <br />of the permit have begun to significantly erode and some slope repair will be required at this point before <br />reseeding. Some terracing of the larger slopes may be also required to prevent soil erosion until vegetation can <br />establish. It was noted that although the reclamation plan calls for no steeper than 3:1 slopes, that the <br />excavation had proceeded to the site's south boundary fence at a nearly vertical slope. Material will need to be <br />backfilled in these areas to obtain the required slopes for reclamation of the site. Also, the county will need to <br />salvage additional topsoil for reclamation as mining progresses as the amount currently stockpiled will not <br />likely be sufficient to spread over the disturbed area. All these items were also observed during the last <br />inspection report in 2010 and have yet to be addressed. No other issues were observed during this inspection. <br />Inspection Contact Address <br />Paula Weeks <br />Kit Carson County <br />P.O. Box 160 <br />Burlington, CO 80807 <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />
