PERMIT #: M-1983-142 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: SJM <br />INSPECTION DATE: June 13, 2017 <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This was a normal monitoring inspection of the Hall Pit; DRMS File No. M-1983-142 operated by Old Castle SW <br />Group, Inc., dba United Companies of Mesa County. This site is located approximately 2 miles south of Clifton, <br />Colorado in Mesa County. I, Stephanie Mitchell of the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br />(Division) conducted the inspection. Mr. Jason Burkey of United Companies accompanied me on the <br />inspection. <br />This is a 112c mining operation with a 50 permit acres with a maximum disturbance of 9.40 acres. The western <br />portion of the permit area was used as a processing site and for product storage. This area has been graded, <br />but the soil appears very gravely likely due to the stockpiling and processing activities. Vegetation is sparse in <br />this portion of the affected land some native grasses have established in this area, but it is primarily vegetated <br />with annual weeds. <br />Most of the stockpiles are from the Ford pit to the east of the Hall Pit. The Ford Pit has been reclaimed and a <br />Surety Release Request has been submitted by United Companies. <br />There was no equipment or fuel on site. A Scale House sits at the entrance to the site. <br />No problems or violations were noted during this inspection. <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 4 <br />
