PERMIT#: M-2008-082 <br /> INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: ECS <br /> INSPECTION DATE: August 18,2016 <br /> OBSERVATIONS <br /> This was a pre-operation site inspection conducted by DRMS at the Morton Lakes/Holton site. Ready Mixed <br /> Concrete Company (RMCC) submitted an application for AM01 that was called compete on July 18, 2016. The <br /> inspection was conducted by Eric Scott of CDRMS. The DRMS representative met with RMCC permitting <br /> Consultant Mike Hart and RMCC supervisor Joe Lammana at the site at approximately 1000. <br /> The site entrance is located off the south side of Hwy 52 approximately 0.7 miles west of Highway 85. The site <br /> identification sign and AM01 notice posting were both present at the site entrance. <br /> AM01 was submitted to consolidate the existing adjacent Morton Lakes (M2008-082) and Holton Lakes <br /> (M2007-008) permits into one permit. The parcel and features present (buildings, utilities, etc.) appeared to <br /> match well with the amendment application submitted to DRMS. <br /> DRMS toured the Morton Lakes site with the permittee representatives. Current activity in the mine consists <br /> of mining in Morton Lakes Stages 1 and 2 for wash fines deposition areas, and construction of mine <br /> infrastructure in Stages 6 and 7. The Holton permit remain unaffected by mining activity at this time. <br /> DRMS would like to take this opportunity to remind RMCC to maintain adequate permit boundary markers <br /> and to clearly mark all required setbacks, such as from the river, ditches and utility easements to prevent <br /> accidental encroachment. Setbacks distances from on-site features are enforceable permit conditions. <br /> During the site tour, the mine appeared to be in compliance with the approved mining plan. The only problem <br /> noted during the inspection was the presence of noxious weeds at the site (knapweed, cheatgrass, bindweed, <br /> thistle, etc). These noxious plants need to be controlled/eliminated before they become further established <br /> and widespread. Affected areas will require weed control measures such as spraying or mowing. The <br /> presence of noxious weeds has been cited as a problem in this report with a corrective action date of October <br /> 31, 2016. <br /> This concluded the inspection and DRMS left the site at approximately 1200. <br /> Inspection Contact Address <br /> Joe Lamanna <br /> Ready Mixed Concrete Company <br /> 11778 Highway 52 <br /> Ft Lupton,CO 80621 <br /> Page 2 of 4 <br />
