PERMIT #: M-2012-016 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: ACY <br />INSPECTION DATE: November 10, 2015 <br />Until the site Is fully vegetated the operator should remain vigilant in treating weeds. Some noxious species <br />were observed. If left untreated these species may outcompete desirable vegetation and hinder reclamation <br />success. <br />The operator is also reminded of the Divisions policy that reclamation needs a minimum of 2 growing seasons <br />before it can be evaluated for release. This helps the Division ensure that vegetation is sustainable. in Some <br />cases vegetation may be deemed adequate sooner or in arid or challenging areas it may require more time. It <br />is impractical for the operator to expect to seed in the spring and be granted a release that same fall. This site <br />has proved challenging and successful reclamation will likely take several years to achieve. <br />Currently the Division holds a Financial Warranty in the amount of $35,250 for this site. At this time the <br />Division finds this amount adequate to fulfill the reclamation requirements of the approved reclamation plan. <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. Direct contact can be made by phone at 970-254- <br />8511 <br />70-2548511 or via email at amy.yeldell@state.co.us <br />PHOTOGRAPHS <br />Page 3 of 9 <br />
