INERT FILL NOTICE (RULE 3.1.5(9)) <br /> Sand Creek Pit- Permit# M-1992-038 <br /> During the life of the mine Jones Fine Sand will import inert <br /> materials as defined in Rule 1 . 1 (20) , into this mining operation. <br /> Reclamation activities at tilis mine involve operation as a <br /> sand mine where the imported material will be hauled to the site <br /> for use in reclaiming mined areas adjacent to and on the west <br /> side of West Bijou Creek. This will not be an open inert land <br /> fill operation and the material will only come from our sand <br /> processing facility in Commerce City Colorado_ The material <br /> generated by this facility contains dirt, reject sand and dirt <br /> mix generated during screening, clay balls, smaller pieces of <br /> brick, or concrete, and dirt mixed with the finer material . At <br /> the current time the plant generates approximately 4 truck loads <br /> of this material per month. The amount of material to be <br /> imported over the life of the mine is estimated to be 130, 000 <br /> Yards ± . <br /> No specific compaction rates are proposed for the fill. We run <br /> heavy equipment over the material during the filling process and <br /> it is compacted as a result . Stabilization of this fill material <br /> is not a concern because of the way it is placed below the normal <br /> surrounding surface. The backfilled area will be used for pasture <br /> /and there is no need to compact it of a specific rate other then <br /> what happens during the placement of the material. <br /> All filling will be confined to the old plant site an the upland <br /> areas along West Bijou Creek. We will record the volume imported <br /> each year and keep a running total, so if needed, the Division <br /> will know how much and how it as disposed of . We will continue <br /> to import inert material until we no longer producing it or no <br /> longer have a location to put it. If the supply of suitable fill <br />
