PERMIT#: M-1976-007-UG <br /> INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: ECS <br /> INSPECTION DATE: February 13,2019 <br /> OBSERVATIONS <br /> This was a routine monitoring inspection for the Golden Mine, a 9.0 acre 110c clay mine, conducted by Eric Scott of <br /> DRMS. DRMS followed permittee representative Robert Tibbets to the site entrance at 09:50 AM and entered the site <br /> as far as the snowy conditions would allow—up to the equipment parking area, and location of the working face and <br /> product stockpile (Photos 3-4). <br /> Although it was noted that the site identification sign was present at the site entrance (Photos 1 and 2) some of the <br /> permit boundary markers were either missing or unable to be located. These markers will need to be replaced in the <br /> proper locations to delineate the 9.0 ac permit boundary and should be easily locatable/visible in the field. As stated on <br /> the first page of the report the operator will need to provide proof to the Division that this has been done by the <br /> corrective action date of March 29, 2019. <br /> It was also noted that noxious weed species such as knapweed were present on site. The operator should implement the <br /> weed control plan as needed to eliminate the presence of listed noxious species from the permit area. <br /> There was no mining activity taking place during the inspection, and the product stockpile is remaining on site at the foot <br /> of the working face (Photo 3). The annual report for the site submitted on September 13, 2018 states that the last date <br /> of active mining at the site was in September of 2018. DRMS will remind the permittee at this time if mining does not <br /> resume in 2019,that reclamation activities shall be completed within 5 years of the end of mining. <br /> No other issues were noted during this inspection. <br /> GENERAL INSPECTION TOPICS <br /> The following list identifies the environmental and permit parameters inspected and gives a categorical evaluation of each <br /> (AR)RECORDS-----------------------------------Y (FN)FINANCIAL WARRANTY-------- Y (RD)ROADS------------------NA <br /> (HB) HYDROLOGIC BALANCE-------------Y (BG)BACKFILL& GRADING----------NA (EX)EXPLOSIVES--------- NA <br /> (PW) PROCESSING WASTE/TAILING---- NA (SF)PROCESSING FACILITIES------- NA (TS)TOPSOIL----------------NA <br /> (MP)GENL MINE PLAN COMPLIANCE- Y (FW)FISH&WILDLIFE----------------- NA (RV)REVEGETATION---- NA <br /> (SM)SIGNS AND MARKERS----------------- PB (SP)STORM WATER MGT PLAN---- NA (RS)RECL PLAN/COMP--NA <br /> (ES)OVERBURDEN/DEV.WASTE--------- NA (SC)EROSION/SEDIMENTATION--- NA (ST) STIPULATIONS-------NA <br /> (AT)ACID OR TOXIC MATERIALS------- NA (OD)OFF-SITE DAMAGE----------------NA <br /> Y=Inspected and found in compliance/N=Not inspected/NA=Not applicable to this operation/PB=Problem cited/PV=Possible violation cited <br /> Inspection Contact Address <br /> Robert Tibbetts <br /> The Denver Brick Company <br /> 401 Prairie Hawk Dr. <br /> Castle Rock, CO 80104 <br /> Page 2 of 3 <br />
