PERMIT#:M-2015-045 <br /> INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: ECS <br /> INSPECTION DATE: December 3,2018 <br /> OBSERVATIONS <br /> This was a pre-operation inspection for the Weld County Peters 313 Pit 112c permit amendment(AMO1). Weld County <br /> is adding 66.7 acres to it's existing 80 acre permit at this location. The site is located in Section 26, Township 12N <br /> and Range 63W, and will be accessed from the south side of County Road 136.5. Photos of the site <br /> identification sign and notice of amendment applied for have been attached to this report. DRMS met with Weld <br /> County representative Devon Traff at the site,toured the existing permit area, and inspected the permit boundary markers <br /> for the existing permit and proposed amendment area. <br /> All current activity at the site appears to be in compliance with the approved mining plan. There is a marked topsoil <br /> stockpile located near the entrace to the permit, and a stockpile of material to be processed south and east of the topsoil <br /> pile. The boundary markers (steel T-posts)for the original permit and the amendment area are in place. <br /> DRMS noted that the marked boundary maintains a 200 foot buffer area between the proposed permit boundary and an <br /> existing gas and oil tank farm located along the western boundary as discussed in the amendment application. However <br /> the overhead utility lines that parallel the western boundary of the amendment area are not shown on any of the existing <br /> maps or identified in the existing Exhibit S for the existing permit or amendment. <br /> Weld county will need to identify and add this overhead utility to the appropriate maps for the site, and obtain a damage <br /> waiver agreement from the overhead line owners prior to approval of the amendment. Weld county may also commit to <br /> not conducting any mining activity within 200' of the overhead line until a damage waiver agreement has been executed, <br /> however, this would become an enforceable provision of the approved permit amendment. <br /> DRMS would also advise that Weld County place additional markers along the east side of the AMO1 area so that line of <br /> sight can be maintained between markers while in the field. <br /> No other issues were noted during the inspection. <br /> Inspection Contact Address <br /> Devon Traff <br /> Weld County Public Works <br /> PO Box 758 <br /> Greeley, CO 80632 <br /> Page 2 of 3 <br />
