PERMIT#: M-1999-089 <br /> INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: ECS <br /> INSPECTION DATE:February 22,2019 <br /> OBSERVATIONS <br /> This was a routine monitoring inspection for the Weathers Mine#1, a 9.9 acre 110c sand and gravel permit, <br /> conducted by Eric Scott of DRMS. DRMS met operator Byron Weathers on-site, and observed the site at <br /> approximately 14:30. The site identification sign and permit boundary markers were present as required, and <br /> the site was in good condition and in compliance at the time of the inspection. <br /> The eastern part of the permit is almost mined out and contains primarily topsoil and product stockpiles. The <br /> recent excavation activity has been entirely in the western side of the permit area. <br /> The operator should use caution and not extend the existing disturbance any further to the south or east—the <br /> existing disturbance is very close to the permit boundary in these areas. <br /> The Division would like to take this opportunity to encourage concurrent reclamation at this site whenever <br /> possible. The site is currently surrounded by excellent natural grasses. If areas where mining is completed are <br /> appropriately re-sloped and top-soiled when completed, natural reseeding from the surrounding areas will <br /> contribute significantly to the reclamation effort. Concurrent reclamation will also minimize the bond required <br /> for the site, and allow the site to be released in a much shorter time when miningis s completed. <br /> No issues were noted during this inspection. <br /> Inspection Contact Address <br /> Byron Weathers <br /> 11955 CR 37 <br /> Yuma, CO 80759 <br /> Page 2 of 3 <br />
