PERMIT#:M-2018-060 <br /> INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: ECS <br /> INSPECTION DATE: February 19,2019 <br /> OBSERVATIONS <br /> This was a pre-operation inspection conducted for the Tollgate Pit, DRMS file M2018-060. This inspection was <br /> conducted by Eric Scott of DRMS, who met with Dan Clark of Bucklen Services (permittee) and Katy Bilisoly <br /> (consultant) on site at 0930. The proposed permit is a 60 acre 112c sand and gravel operation located on the <br /> NE corner of"0 Street" and 83rd Ave near Greeley CO. This property was previously permitted by Aggregate <br /> Industries, but was released prior to any mining activity. <br /> The notice of permit applied for sign was present, and the permit boundary is defined by existing fencing- <br /> with the exception of the NW corner where an additional boundary marker will be needed. DRMS also <br /> recommends that the utility corridor that is present along the west side of the site be marked at this time so <br /> that mining activity does not encroach on the 50' ROW of the overhead power lines, and buried gas lines in <br /> that area. No excavation is planned for the SW corner of the permit, as that area will be used to stockpile <br /> topsoil and overburden. All mining activity will be conducted within the area to be contained within the slurry <br /> wall which was marked with lath during this inspection. The slurry wall will be installed and certified prior to <br /> mining activity, so there should be very little chance of adverse impacts to groundwater or geotechnical <br /> stability of nearby features and utilities. <br /> The site is currently used to graze cattle and existing vegetation was in a poor/over-grazed state at the time of <br /> this inspection. Conditions and features on site and on adjacent properties matched the description provided <br /> in the submitted application. No other issues were noted during this pre-op inspection, and no comments or <br /> objections were received during the public comment period. DRMS will approve the permit as soon as all <br /> adequacy issues are resolved and the bond amount has been finalized. <br /> Inspection Contact Address <br /> Dan Clark <br /> Bucklen Services Company,Inc. <br /> 804 North 25th Avenue <br /> Greeley,CO 80631 <br /> Page 2 of 2 <br />
