PERMIT#: M-2016-041 <br /> INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: ECS <br /> INSPECTION DATE: September 6,2018 <br /> OBSERVATIONS <br /> This was a surety release inspection conducted by Eric Scott of DRMS, accompanied by permittee <br /> representative Mike Volosin of Ames Construction. The Front Range Feed Lot Borrow site is an 8 acre 111 <br /> permit that was approved in August 2016. <br /> Ames Construction requested release of the Front Range Feed Lot Borrow permit on August 24, 2018 and <br /> DRMS sent out release notification letters as required on August 28, 2018. To date no comments or <br /> objections have been received. The approved reclamation plan for the Front Range Feed Lot Borrow permit is <br /> rangeland. <br /> During the release inspection it was noted that although the earthwork has been completed as required, very <br /> little, if any, reclamation vegetation was present (see photos 1-4). There was evidence (hoof-prints and <br /> manure) that the area was recently heavily overgrazed by cattle. Any reclamation vegetation that was <br /> previously present is now gone, and the entire permit area will need to be reseeded and mulched and <br /> reclamation vegetation established before the remaining permit (M2018-011) can be released. Unless an <br /> agreement can be reached with the landowner to not graze the permit area until the site is released, Ames <br /> will also need to consider fencing out cattle to preserve the reclamation vegetation. <br /> The permit identification sign and appropriate boundary markers will also need to be replaced for the Front <br /> Range Feedlot Borrow permit and maintained until the permit is terminated. <br /> Inspection Contact Address <br /> Mike Volosin <br /> Ames Construction, Inc. <br /> 18450 E.28th Ave. <br /> Aurora,CO 80011 <br /> Enclosure: SLO1 Denial Letter <br /> Page 2 of 4 <br />
