PERMIT #: M-2016-050 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: SJM <br />INSPECTION DATE: February 21, 2017 <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This was a pre-operation inspection conducted by the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (Division) in <br />response to the Construction Material Regular 112 Operation Reclamation permit application submitted by <br />Parkerson Construction, Inc. Alan Parkerson, representing the applicant, was present during the inspection. <br />Photographs taken at the site during this inspection are included at the end of this report. <br />The C Road Pit is located 4 miles southeast of Grand Junction and will be accessed from 31 Road. <br />The appropriate public notice sign was in place. <br />The current site use is cropland, which will also be the post mining land use. The permit area will include 84.9 <br />acres, of which 75 acres are expected to be mined. The unmined acreage will serve as buffer zones and <br />topsoil/overburden stockpile area. It is expected that sufficient quantities of overburden material will be <br />available on site for reclamation, and that enough topsoil will be salvaged in order to be distributed over the <br />disturbed areas during reclamation at a depth of no less than 3 inches. The mined aggregate materials will be <br />processed on site. The mine plan does not plan on encountering groundwater. <br />This inspection confirmed that the site conditions were accurately portrayed in the application package <br />submitted by Parkerson Construction, Inc. The Division requests that a structure agreement with the utility <br />poles within 200 feet of the affected land be submitted by March 8, 2017. <br />The Division has calculated an adequate financial warranty estimate (enclosed) for this site. The financial <br />warranty was calculated to $241,201.40. <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to Stephanie Mitchell at the Division of Reclamation, <br />Mining and Safety, Grand Junction Field Office, 101 South 3rd Street, Room 301, Grand Junction, Colorado <br />81501, phone number (970) 242-5025. <br />Page 2 of 5 <br />
