Mr. Nathan Rinderle accompanied me on the inspection. Photographs are included with <br />this report in order to illustrate some of the conditions observed. <br />The Upland Gravel Pit is located approximately 2.6 miles northeast of Palisade and accessed from 32 Road. <br />The site is a 112c operation that includes a total of 29.04 permitted acres. The Division currently holds a <br />financial warranty amount of $61,304.40 for this site.
