PERMIT #: M- 2005 -060 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: ECS <br />INSPECTION DATE: February 25, 2015 <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This was a routine monitoring inspection for the Weld County 112c Ashbaugh Pit, DRMS permit M2005 -060. <br />The inspection was conducted by Eric Scott of DRMS. The site is located in Weld County approximately one <br />mile north of the intersection of county road 80 and county road 115 on the east side of county road 115. This <br />inspection was unscheduled, however, the Ashbaugh Pit is located immediately east of the newly permitted <br />privately operated 112c GoodMiller #2 Pit (M2014 -070). Because DRMS was already across the road <br />conducting a pre -op inspection for the GoodMiller #2 site, it seemed reasonable to conduct an inspection of <br />the Ashbaugh site at the same time, especially considering the relatively remote location of the pit(s). <br />As can be seen in the attached photos, the site identification sign was present at the site entrance. It did not <br />appear that there has been very much, if any, recent excavation activity at the pit, however, there were <br />several large stockpiles of material on site awaiting use. The active area of the site does not appear to have <br />increased very much, if at all, from when the conversion to a 112c was approved in 2011. The buried gas line <br />corridor through the middle of the permit area is still clearly marked, and no mining activity has taken place in <br />the area of this buried pipeline or to the east of it. <br />No other items /concerns were noted during this inspection, and the attached photos generally depict the <br />condition of the permit area and surrounding vicinity. <br />Please note that the Construction Materials extraction rule states that reclamation of a permit must be <br />completed within 5 years of the end of mining. Based on this inspection, and the previous inspection, it would <br />appear that active mining has not taken place since prior to 2013. <br />Inspection Contact Address <br />Clay Kimmi <br />Weld County <br />1111 H St. <br />Greeley, CO 80632 <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />
