The Airport pit is an active 112(c) located approximately 5.5 Miles west of <br /> Telluride, CO at 9100 feet in elevation. The site lies within the boundaries of the Telluride Regional Airport <br /> and public access is controlled by a locked gate leading onto airport property and to the access road leading to <br /> the pit. Karen Moore of Telluride Stone Company was present during the inspection. The Division currently <br /> holds$32,690.00 in financial warranty for the site. A reclamation cost estimate will be performed and any <br /> changes will be sent to the operator under a separate cover. Fourteen photos accompany this report to <br /> illustrate current site conditions. <br /> Proper mine identification signage was posted on the gate to the access road shown in Photo One. The permit <br /> boundary was clearly outlined by survey pins and survey flags. Examples of the boundary markers can be seen <br /> in Photo Two. The site was active during the inspection. An excavator, dump truck and several rock cutters <br /> were present and in operation during the inspection. Two open excavation areas are located on site, with a <br /> majority of the mining activity being concentrated in the eastern excavation area. Photo Three shows the <br /> eastern excavation area. The mining operations consist of loading rock that is periodically blasted into a dump <br /> truck, which is hauled to the on-site stone cutters. The stone is then cut into small dimensional pieces and <br /> loaded onto pallets for removal from the site. Several problems exist on site and are described below. <br /> Throughout the upper areas of the site near the fuel storage containers, several large spills of engine oil, <br /> hydraulic oil and other hydrocarbons were observed. The spills are numerous and excessive. Photos Four <br /> through Eight show the areas that have been affected by the spills. The biggest spill being under the drum <br /> shaker that was apparently being serviced and the fluids were drained onto the ground. According to Rule <br /> Page 2 of 12 <br />
