PERMIT #: M-2004-031 <br />INSPECTOR’S INITIALS: TOD <br />INSPECTION DATE: August 19, 2015 <br />Page 3 of 6 <br />visual estimate, it appears that the water elevation along the western side of the Orr property had dropped roughly <br />2 feet. This assumption was made based on the debris hanging from the second strain of barbwire on the fence <br />around the Orr Property. The Orr property was much dryer then when the Orr property had been observed during <br />previous inspections. During the inspection water was observed seeping through the soil along the western side <br />of the Orr property (photo 6), the western portion of the Orr property slopes into the bull seep. The furthest western <br />portion of the Orr property remained saturated, but not inundated by mounded groundwater. The Division <br />believes it will take additional time for the furthest western portion of the Orr Property to dry out. <br />Based on observations made during the inspection, it appears that the temporary plan has begun to mitigate the <br />impacts of the groundwater mounding. The Division believes that it will take several months to completely <br />evaluate the effects of the temporary plan. The Division will continue to work closely with the Operator and the <br />adjacent landowner. <br />Roads: <br />All roads were stable and well maintained. No excessive dust was observed from mining activities. <br />Reclamation Success: <br />Reclamation is currently progressing as described in the approved reclamation plan. Large portions of the site <br />have been backfilled and graded. The Operator will need repair the 2013 flood damage. <br />Signs and Markers: <br />There was a permit sign at the main entrance to the site. <br />Inspection Contact Address <br />Connie Davis <br />Aggregate Industries - WCR, Inc. <br />1687 Cole Blvd., Ste. 300 <br />Golden, CO 80401 <br />CC: Wally Erickson, DRMS <br /> Tony Waldron, DRMS <br /> Steve O'Brian <br /> Environment, Inc. <br /> 7985 Vance Dr., #205A <br /> Arvada, CO 80003 <br /> Fred Orr <br /> Equity Funding, LLC <br /> 5040 Acoma St <br /> Denver, CO 80216
