PERMIT#: M-2000-144 <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 North LaPoudre Sand&Gravel site. The <br /> inspection was conducted by Eric Scott of DRMS. DRMS travelled to the site with Mark Johnson of Bestway Concrete <br /> approximately 1400. The site entrance is located at the southwest corner of Weld County roads 392 and Weld County <br /> Road 13. This site is also immediately north of the Bestway LaPoudre Sand and Gravel pit(M1983-090). <br /> DRMS toured the site with the Mr. Johnson. Current excavation activity in the mine is located primarily in western third <br /> of the permit area. There are currently excavated ponds in the central part of the permit area; however Mr. Johnson stated <br /> that more material remains to be mined in that area. The eastern portion of the site has never been mined, and is now <br /> largely occupied by gas and oil structures. According to DRMS records, no portion of this site has been released from the <br /> permitted area to date. <br /> There is a currently a significant amount of exposed groundwater at this site(approximately 14 acres),contained within <br /> the two unlined ponds. Any areas of exposed groundwater that are not currently part of a submitted or approved <br /> permanent augmentation plan will need to be backfilled, or sealed from the alluvial aquifer with a clay liner or slurry wall <br /> that will pass SEO approval criteria before DRMS will be able to release the permit. <br /> Mr. Johnson stated that Bestway intends to submit an amendment to this permit to add approximately 30 acres to the west <br /> end of the existing North LaPoudre permit(Lee Property) in the immediate future. This amended permit would continue <br /> to be operated concurrently and in conjunction with the adjacent"original"LaPoudre Sand and Gravel Pit(M1983-090) <br /> As noted on the first page of this report,the permit boundary markers for the south boundary of the permit were not <br /> present during this inspection. These boundary markers will need to be replaced and proof of this will need to be <br /> provided to the Division by the listed corrective action date of 4/28/17. 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 />
