PERMIT #: M -1977 -346 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: ECS <br />INSPECTION DATE: August 19, 2014 <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This was a site inspection of on -going reclamation activity taking place at the Boettcher Gypsum permit at the <br />request of the permittee ( Holcim). After a site inspection earlier this year, the lack of reclamation was cited as a <br />problem by DBMS. Holcim was allowed until September 30, 2014 to complete the required earthwork, grading <br />and seeding of the site for final reclamation. <br />At the time of this inspection all grading of the disturbed areas had been completed, and topsoil had been <br />imported and spread to facilitate revegetation. The earthwork appears to be well done and stable, with all slopes <br />well blended into the surrounding landscape (please see attached photos). Holcim provided DRMS with a <br />technical revision to update/ revise the reclamation seed mix to a rangeland mix suggested to them by Larimer <br />County. The updated seed mix has since been approved by DRMS, and seeding was projected to occur between <br />the week of August 25 and September 12. <br />DRMS considers the problem cited in the earlier 2014 inspection report to be resolved at this time. Holcim will <br />still need to maintain the site while the vegetation establishes, and control /eliminate any noxious weeds that try <br />to establish in the disturbed areas until the site is eligible for final release. <br />Inspection Contact Address <br />Mike Toelle <br />Holcim (US) Inc. <br />3500 Highway 120 <br />Florence, CO 81226 <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />
