PERMIT #: M-1998-065 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: ECS <br />INSPECTION DATE: February 7, 2018 <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This was a routine monitoring inspection for the Hayes Pit, a 9.5 acre I l Oc sand and gravel permit operated by <br />Washington County. The inspection was conducted by Eric Scott of DRMS. DRMS traveled to the site at <br />approximately 1330. DRMS made several attempts to contact Jason Lockard, the Washington County <br />representative, prior to this inspection but was unsuccessful. DRMS conducted the inspection unaccompanied. <br />Access to the site was difficult due to muddy conditions which resulted in an abbreviated inspection of the site. <br />GPS data confirming the permit boundary will need to be collected during a future inspection. The mining site <br />identification sign (Photo 1) and permit boundary markers were observed at the site. Approximately 7 acres of <br />the permitted remain affected at this time. The NW area of the permit has been planted with evergreen and <br />other trees as approved in the current reclamation plan and is now well established. <br />Representative photos of site conditions are attached to this report. As can be seen in the photos, areas of the <br />permit that have been inactive for extended periods appear to be stable and well vegetated - with the exception <br />of the large erosion feature shown in Photo 2 at the SE corner of the pit. This gully will need to be repaired. A <br />small ridge along the top edge of the excavated area to redirect runoff away from the pit excavation will likely <br />prevent this kind of feature from developing in the future. Evidence of more recent excavation activity within <br />past year was visible in the pit floor as shown in Photos 4 and 5. <br />No other issues were noted during this inspection. <br />Inspection Contact Address <br />Jason Lockard <br />Washington County <br />150 Ash Avenue <br />Akron, CO 80720 <br />Page 2 of <br />
