The followinE inspection tonics were identified as having Problems or Possible Violations. OPERATORS
SHOULD READ THE FOLLOWING PAGES CAREFULLY IN ORDER TO ASSURE COMPLIANCE
WITH THE TERMS OF THE PERMIT AND APPLICABLE RULES AND REGULATIONS. If a
Possible Violation is indicated, you will be notified under separate cover as to when the Mined Land
Reclamation Board will consider possible enforcement action.
INSPECTION TOPIC: Financial Warranty
PROBLEM/POSSIBLE VIOLATION: Problem: The financial warranty is not adequate to reclaim the site in
accordance with the approved reclamation plan. This is a failure to maintain the proper financial warranty
amount to complete reclamation of the affected lands pursuant to C.R.S. 34- 32.5- 117(4)(b) of the Act. The new
amount of required financial warranty will be $77,700, which is $12,864 more than the current required financial
warranty of $115,400.
CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: The deficit in financial warranty amount on deposit with the State is cited as a
problem and must be corrected by May 9, 2014, by submitting the additional bond amount of $12,846.
CORRECTIVE ACTION DUE DATE: 5/09/14
INSPECTION TOPIC: Revegetation
PROBLEM/POSSIBLE VIOLATION: Problem: Tamarisk (salt cedar) trees are present within or have
volunteered into the permit area and are becoming established. This is a problem for failure to employ weed
control methods for a state listed noxious weed species within the permitted area, and to reduce the spread of
weeds to nearby areas as required by Section 3.1.10 (6) of the rule.
CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: The Operator shall either implement the existing weed control plan, or develop a
weed control and management plan in accordance with Section 3.1.10 (6) of the Rule. This plan should be
developed in consultation with the county extension agency, or weed control district office and should include
specific control measures to be applied, a schedule for when control measures will be applied and a post-
treatment monitoring plan. This weed control plan shall be submitted to the Division as a Technical Revision to
the approved plan with the appropriate Technical Revision fee of $216.00 by the corrective action date.
CORRECTIVE ACTION DUE DATE: 6/09/14
