PERMIT#:M-1989-010 <br /> INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: MAC <br /> INSPECTION DATE:January 20,2016 <br /> OBSERVATIONS <br /> The inspection was conducted by Michael Cunningham of the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br /> (Division). Holly Lien and Rob Kisner were present on behalf of Pete Lien and Sons, Inc. The Weaver Quarry is <br /> located 9 miles north of Laporte, Colorado off of County Road 72. The permit area encompasses 77.1 acres <br /> and the Operator is restricted to a maximum disturbance of 21.9 acres. The post-mining land use is rangeland. <br /> The Division received a request for surety reduction on December 23, 2015. Pursuant to Rule 4.17, the Division <br /> sent notice of the surety reduction request to the landowner, the Larimer County Commissioner's office, and <br /> the Fort Collins Conservation District.The Division did not receive any comments or objections from the <br /> noticed parties. The purpose of the inspection was to assess the current disturbance and to ensure the <br /> reduced financial warranty amount would be adequate to complete reclamation of the site. <br /> The Division currently holds a financial warranty in the amount of$97,000.00 and the Operator is proposing to <br /> reduce the financial warranty to $32,405.00. The site is in the same condition as noted in previous inspection <br /> reports. The existing disturbance consists of a small excavation adjacent to the access road; approximately 3-5 <br /> cubic yards of material are stockpiled next to the excavation. In addition, there is a small area south of the <br /> excavation requiring seeding. The reduced bond amount of$32,405.00 would allow the Operator to disturb up <br /> to two acres in the future. Notice of the Division's decision regarding the surety reduction will be sent under <br /> separate cover. <br /> The Weaver Quarry is currently in the second five year term of Temporary Cessation (TC). The second five year <br /> term of TC will expire on March 26, 2019. Upon expiration of the second term of TC, the Operator will be <br /> required to resume active mining operations or complete reclamation of the site. <br /> This concludes the inspection. <br /> Page 2 of 4 <br />
