PERMIT #: M-1978-327 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: ECS <br />INSPECTION DATE: July 24, 2015 <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This was a routine monitoring inspection of the Kauffman Pit M1978-327 conducted by Eric Scott of DRMS at <br />the request of the permittee. DRMS met Frank and Mary Kauffman of Kauffman and Sons at the site office at <br />approximately 0930. Also present was permittee consultant Dan Giroux of Terramax. The site entrance is <br />located off the east side of Larimer County Road 9E approximately % mile north of Highway 402 in Larimer <br />County. Access to the permit area inspected required travel through the adjacent commercial operations, so <br />DRMS accompanied Mr. Kauffman to view the permit area. <br />The site was extensively flooded during the fall 2013 flood event; however the breeches in the reservoir <br />banks, and other damage within this permit caused by the flooding, have been effectively repaired at this <br />time. <br />It was noted during this inspection that all mining activity has been completed in the permit area, and that <br />reclamation also appears to have been completed. Areas of exposed groundwater have been backfilled to less <br />than the pre -1981 exposed area to comply with SEO requirements. The grading and revegetation of the <br />southeastern permit area has been completed, and in fact, this area has been cut for hay twice this season. <br />As approved in TR06, a portion of the industrially zoned area in the south-central part of the permit is still <br />active as a concrete and asphalt recycling area, and two of the backfilled areas are being utilized as equipment <br />storage lots/site support areas. <br />No compliance issues were noted during this inspection. <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />
