PERMIT#: M-1983-178 <br /> INSPECTOR'S INITIALS:TCW <br /> INSPECTION DATE:October 19,2016 <br /> OBSERVATIONS <br /> This was a routine monitoring inspection conducted by TC Wait of DRMS; Mr. Robert Darnell was present <br /> representing the operator. The site is located about 4 miles northeast of Las Animas on CR 13, north of <br /> Highway 50. The Fort Lyon Canal runs immediately south of the site. The site was last inspected in November <br /> 2011. The permit area is 26.1 acres. The entrance road was marked with the permit sign and the permit <br /> boundaries were marked with fence line and corner signs. <br /> At the time of this inspection,the site was dry and had been graded and seeded toward reclamation and <br /> release. No mining has occurred at this site since 2011. Mr. Darnell stated that the site had been seeded <br /> twice, the last time was drilled about 2 years ago. Winds and dry weather have prevented adequate <br /> vegetative growth to this point. <br /> No equipment pertaining to the mining operations was on site. No stockpiles remain. No standing water or <br /> accelerated erosion was noted, although some areas may collect water temporarily following storms. <br /> The site is generally stable and in acceptable condition. <br /> RECOMMENDATIONS: <br /> 1. The Operator should reseed the site and consider using mulched manure or another material to <br /> help hold the seeds while they establish, pursuant to Rule 3.1.10(5). <br /> i <br /> Page 2 of 5 <br />
