PERMIT#: M-1979-165 <br /> INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: ECS <br /> INSPECTION DATE:August 30,2016 <br /> OBSERVATIONS <br /> This was a final release (SR) inspection for the remaining 1.8 acres of the Frei Pit#3. The release of this area <br /> was previously denied due to erosion issues on the berm along the west and north portion of this area. The post- <br /> mining land use for this area is industrial/commercial and the approved reclamation plan is for a gravel lot. <br /> This area is adjacent to an active asphalt and concrete recycling yard. <br /> SL02 was received by the DRMS on August 12, 2016 and the appropriate release notices were mailed by the <br /> Division on August 16, 2016. This inspection was conducted by Eric Scott of DRMS who met on site by <br /> permittee Ben Frei and his consultant Steve O'Brian. Adams County representative Jennifer Rutter was also <br /> present for the inspection. As can be seen in the attached photos, this remaining 1.8 acre area has been <br /> reclaimed according to the approved post-mining land use as a gravel lot, and is currently in use by the <br /> recycling facility. The earth berm appears to be stable with no erosion issues. Although the vegetation (alfalfa <br /> and grasses) has died out for the 2016 growing season it appears to be largely weed free, and will continue to <br /> fill in if appropriately managed by the property owner(Frei). DRMS therefore considers the reclamation <br /> requirements for this site have been satisfied and will approve the final release of the Frei Pit#3 as soon as the <br /> public comment period has elapsed. <br /> Inspection Contact Address <br /> Ben Frei <br /> Albert Frei&Sons Inc. <br /> 11521 Brighton Rd <br /> Henderson,CO 80640 <br /> Page 2 of 3 <br />
