PERMIT#:M-1999-006 <br /> INSPECTOR'S INITIALS:PSII <br /> INSPECTION DATE:August 28,2014 <br /> Tract D is an inactive wash pond with material stockpiles along the eastern boundary of the tract. The tract <br /> was not observed during this inspection. The Operator stated the tract would be backfilled to upland <br /> rangeland as the post-mine land use. <br /> Mined material from the Heintzelman Project site is conveyed to the site for processing. The Operator stated <br /> topsoil from the Kurtz Project was conveyed to the Heintzelman Project for temporary storage due to the <br /> limited storage space currently available at the Kurtz site. <br /> The Operator has complied with the Colorado Division of Water Resources (DWR) requirement for long-term <br /> augmentation for exposed groundwater by committing shares to the DWR. The approved post-mining land <br /> use is general agriculture with three unlined ponds. The Operator started to construct a clay liner at Tract C <br /> and Tract A to create sealed ponds. The construction of sealed ponds is a change in the post-mining land use <br /> to developed water resource. The change in post-mine land use will require an amendment to the <br /> reclamation permit be submitted by the Operator and approved by the Division prior to any future <br /> consideration of release request for the site. <br /> Photographs taken during the inspection at attached. <br /> Inspection Contact Address <br /> Mr. Chris Varra <br /> Varra Companies, Inc. <br /> 8120 Gage Street <br /> Frederick, CO 80516 <br /> Cc: Tom Kaldenbach, DRMS <br /> Page 3 of 6 <br />
