PERMIT#:M-1996-060 <br /> INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: ECS <br /> INSPECTION DATE:March 15,2017 <br /> OBSERVATIONS <br /> This was a routine site monitoring inspection conducted by DRMS at the Firestien Pit site. The inspection was conducted <br /> by Eric Scott of DRMS. DRMS travelled to the site with Mark Johnson of Bestway Concrete at approximately 1300. The <br /> site entrance is located off the west side of 83`d Ave just south of where it intersects County Road 64(also known as"O" <br /> Street). The site is WNW of the Town of Greeley in Weld County. <br /> DRMS toured the site with the Mr. Johnson. Mining activity at the site has ended with cement production and sales of <br /> stockpiled material continuing near the site entrance from 83`d Ave. Reclamation is progressing across the remainder of <br /> the site. The exposed groundwater areas located in the south-central part of the permit have been almost entirely <br /> backfilled. The southwest area of the permit has been successfully reclaimed as a fish-farm and is well vegetated, and the <br /> western portion of the permit has been backfilled and is being utilized as cropland. <br /> Some shoreline maintenance will likely be required for the water bodies located in the northwest corner of the permit, and <br /> all remaining exposed water bodies will need to be included in an approved permanent augmentation plan before the <br /> permit can be released by DRMS. Earth berms located along the south boundary of the permit between the river and <br /> active site areas will need to be removed prior to release. <br /> Gas and oil pipeline activity was observed during this investigation. The permittee should submit a technical revision to <br /> the final reclamation plan to document the final locations of all gas and oil facilities located within the permit. It was also <br /> noted that the mine identification sign was missing and will need to be replaced by the corrective action due date stated on <br /> the first page of this report. <br /> No other issues were noted during this inspection. <br /> Inspection Contact Address <br /> Mark Johnson <br /> Bestway Concrete Company <br /> 301 Centennial Dr. <br /> Milliken,CO 80543 <br /> Page 2 of 3 <br />
