PERMIT #: M-2007-030 <br />INSPECTOR’S INITIALS: ACY <br />INSPECTION DATE: May 27, 2016 <br /> <br /> <br />Page 3 of 8 <br /> <br />It was mentioned that a sediment pond will be created in the northern portion of the permit boundary. <br />Likewise the existing dirt road to the water treatment plant has been upgraded and will soon be paved. Please <br />make sure that the mining and reclamation maps are actuate. The Division cannot release a site if the as -built <br />site conditions do not match the approved reclamation maps. <br /> <br />The post mining land use for this site is industrial commercial. All final reclamation efforts shall support this <br />land use until released from DRMS jurisdiction. It was mentioned that this site may potentially be used as a <br />park. Recreational land use needs to occur after release of DRMS permitting. Maps should indicate which <br />roads and buildings are to remain upon reclamation. The approved reclamation plan calls for 3:1 slopes that <br />are disked, broadcast seeded and straw mulched. DRMS will specifically evaluate eros ion, slope stability and <br />potential for off-site damage. The vegetation required is related to stability not a specific density. If areas will <br />not be seeded please make sure this is distinguished on the map. Stability requirements still apply to areas not <br />seeded. <br /> <br />The operator had posed questions regarding permit status. There are four categories of mining; active, <br />intermittent operator, temporary cessation and final reclamation. Per Rule 1.13 active status requires mining <br />more than 180 days a year. Intermittent status requires that a site be active year around however does not <br />operate more than 180 days a year. If the mine ceases production for more than 180 days it shall go into <br />temporary cessation. And if a site has finished mining it shall being final reclamation. Currently the site is <br />active according to the Divisions records. To change your permit status please complete the appropriate <br />revision form. Commencement of final reclamation only requires written notice. <br /> <br />Any minor changes to the permit shall be done in the form of a technical revision with the required $216 fee. <br />Please note that several minor changes can be done under one technical revision. <br /> <br />No problems or violations were noted during this inspection. <br /> <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to: Amy Yeldell at the Division of Reclamation, Mining <br />and Safety, 1313 Sherman St., Room 215, Denver, CO 80203.
