The Montgomery Pit is located 1.5 miles west of Eagle, Colorado off of <br />Highway 6 & 24. The site is a 112c operation that has been completely mined. Jason Burkey and Scott Barney <br />of B &B Excavating accompanied the inspector during the inspection. <br />The mine identification sign and the affected area boundary markers are in place and in compliance with rule <br />3.1.12. The sign is located on a post at the main entrance on the south side of the gravel mine. The permit <br />boundaries are comprised of fences and posts that are easily identifiable around the entire perimeter of the mine. <br />The pit is currently mined out but is active as an office, a concrete plant, heavy equipment storage and <br />construction material stockpiling.
