PERMIT#: M-1983-139 <br /> INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: ECS <br /> INSPECTION DATE: July 1, 2019 <br /> OBSERVATIONS <br /> This was a partial release inspection conducted by Eric Scott of DRMS at the request of the City of Arvada. <br /> Arvada submitted an acreage reduction request for 266 reclaimed acres on June 14, 2019. DRMS sent release <br /> notices to the appropriate parties on June 18, 2019 and to date, no comments or objections have been <br /> received by the Division. The site entrance is located approximately 1.5 north of W 68th Ave on the east side <br /> of Highway 93 in Jefferson County. <br /> The permitted land is owned by the City of Arvada and no mining has taken place since approximately 2014. <br /> DRMS approved TR05 for the site on May 21, 2019 to finalize the acreages that would be utilized as <br /> industrial/commercial by Pioneer Sand and Gravel, and utilized as a snowplow training area (SW corner of <br /> permit) by the City of Arvada after release from the permit. <br /> The regrading and revegetation of the reclaimed portion of the permit area has been successfully completed <br /> (photos 2-5) although weed control efforts should be maintained across the site to make sure knapweed and <br /> other noxious species do not become more prevalent. <br /> Posts have been placed by Arvada to delineate the remaining permit area. Because the remaining permit area <br /> is irregularly shaped, it may be useful to place additional markers between some of the existing posts so that <br /> the remaining permit area is more easily identified in the future. <br /> The remaining permit area is still undergoing revegetation. Reclamation vegetation was observed in several of <br /> these areas, however it will require more time to become fully established. Any Russian olive trees within the <br /> remaining permitted area should also be removed as they are considered a noxious species at this time. <br /> No other issues were noted during this inspection. DRMS will approve the acreage reduction request as <br /> submitted. Please ensure that any future submittals to the Division reflect the new permit boundary. <br /> Inspection Contact Address <br /> Cliff Deeds <br /> City of Arvada <br /> 8101 Ralston Rd. <br /> Arvada,CO 80002 <br /> Enclosure—Acreage Reduction Approval Letter <br /> Page 2 of 3 <br />
