The following inspection topics 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 for the process area is not adequate to
reclaim the site in accordance with the approved reclamation plan (rangeland). 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 operator will also need to confirm that the exposed surface water on site has been
accounted for by the committing of adequate water rights to the State Engineer's Office.
CORRECTIVE ACTIONS:The operator shall submit a new financial warranty estimate for the removal of all
structures in the process area to be reviewed/approved by the Division. The operator may also choose to notify
DRMS that they wish to submit a permit amendment to change the post-mining land use to
"industrial/commercial" if such a change would still comply with local land use requirements. If the change to
post mining land use is approved through the amendment process a bond increase for the process area may not
be required
CORRECTIVE ACTION DUE DATE: 8/29/14
INSPECTION TOPIC: Off-site Damage
PROBLEM/POSSIBLE VIOLATION: Problem: Land has been affected outside of the approved permit boundary.
Specifically, a product stockpile in the process area has been allowed to expand past the western permit
boundary. This is a possible violation at this time pursuant to: C.R.S. 34-32.5-116(4)(i) for failure to protect
areas outside of the affected land from slides or damages occurring during the mining operation.
CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: DRMS will allow the operator until August 29, 2014 to move the stockpile material back
fully into the permit area, clearly mark the permit boundary, and reclaim all area impacted by this activity. If
this has not been completed and documentation submitted to DRMS to verify the corrective action by the
