PERMIT #: M-1979-089 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: SJM <br />INSPECTION DATE: March 15, 2017 <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This was a normal monitoring inspection of the 23 Road Pit, DRMS File No. M-1979-089 operated by Grand <br />Junction Pip and Supply Co. This site is located west of Grand Junction, Colorado in Mesa County. I, Stephanie <br />Mitchell of the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety conducted the inspection. Mr. Jon <br />Mueller of Grand Junction Pipe and Supply accompanied me on the inspection. <br />This is a 82 acre 112c operation. The site is mined out and is mainly used for a storage area. The post mining <br />land use is Industrial/Commercial. The perimeter of the pit is outlined by a berm. A new fence was built along <br />the Riverfront trail on the southern permit boundary. <br />Noxious weeds appeared to be under control and visibly dead. There were some Tamarisk present, but not to <br />be considered a problem. <br />At the Inspection, Ron Tipping was at the site and notified the Operator he installed a piped irrigation line that <br />was buried on the western end of the permit area. The Division requests that a new map be submitted with <br />the location of the irrigation line via a Technical Revision to the Mine Plan. This is noted as a problem at the <br />beginning of the inspection report. <br />Photos that show the conditions observed during the inspection are included at the end of this report. <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 no. 970-242-5025. <br />Page 2 of 5 <br />
