PERMIT #: M- 2006 -073 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: TC1 <br />INSPECTION DATE: November 19, 2014 <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This inspection was requested by the Operator, Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. as the result of a Surety <br />Reduction (SR) request as the mine operation has not yet begun. The request was called complete for filing by <br />the Division on November 3, 2014. Martin Marietta was represented during the inspection by Rusty Cochrane. <br />The landowner, Mike Drabing was also present. The Sundance Sand and Gravel Resource site is located <br />approximately six miles south of Fountain, CO off 1 -25. <br />Inspection: <br />The permit sign was not displayed as required (see Photo 1). Mr. Cochrane called after the inspection to <br />notify the Division that the sign had been located and would be re- posted. The missing sign is cited as a <br />problem on page 1 of this report. The permit boundaries were marked by fences (see Photo 2). <br />The entire site was driven. No mining related disturbances were observed. <br />File Review Notes: <br />• The total permitted area is 745 acres. <br />• There is a $1,464,697.35 financial warranty (corporate surety) for the site. The surety reduction <br />request was for a bond reduction to a token $1,000.00 as no disturbance has been initiated. The <br />Operator and land owner have agreed that no disturbance will take place until the full bond is re- <br />posted. <br />• Annual fees and reports are up to date through 2014. <br />Summary & Recommendations: <br />1) The Operator will need to send the Division photos of the re- posted permit sign by the Corrective <br />Action due date shown on page 1. <br />2) The Division will recommend approval of the surety reduction request. No disturbance has occurred <br />and the parties involved have agreed to re -post the full bond prior to initiating mining activity. <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />
