PERMIT#:M-1977-245 <br /> INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: ECS <br /> INSPECTION DATE:July 11,2019 <br /> OBSERVATIONS <br /> This inspection was conducted by Eric Scott of the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (Division or <br /> DRMS). DRMS was accompanied on the inspection by Jefferson County representatives Joe Manchen, Wil <br /> Shaffer, Lou Anderson, Carlos Atencio, and Kyle Kos. The Pine Junction Pit is located at the SW corner of the <br /> Pine Junction intersection of Hwy 285. The site is currently permitted as a 31.1 acre sand and gravel operation <br /> with an industrial/commercial post mining land use. The site identification sign was present at the site <br /> entrance (Photo 1). <br /> The site is comprised primarily of two areas: the upper bench/southern area, and the lower/northern area. <br /> An access road circles the outer perimeter of the permit area on the western and eastern sides (Photo 3). <br /> Although the permit has intermittent status, during the inspection, material processing was taking place in the <br /> lower bench area (Photo 2). On-site activities appeared to be in compliance with the approved mining plan. <br /> The permit boundary is delineated along the north side and a portion of the west side by chain link fence <br /> which controls access to the site, however the remainder of the permit boundary was unmarked. The lack of <br /> boundary markers for the remaining permit area is cited on the first page of this report as a problem. The <br /> permit boundary will need to be surveyed and remarked with permanent markers/posts of some kind and <br /> proof submitted to DRMS that this has been completed by the corrective action date (Sept 30, 2019). <br /> Jefferson County representatives noted that a portion of the northern side of the permit may be impacted by <br /> future CDOT plans to widen Hwy 285 in that area. DRMS informed Jefferson County that a permit revision <br /> would likely be required when the specific details (areas, timeframe) of this project were known. <br /> No other issues were noted during this inspection. <br /> Inspection Contact Address <br /> Joe Manchen <br /> Jefferson County <br /> 21401 Golden Gate Canyon Road <br /> Golden, CO 80403 <br /> Page 2 of 3 <br />
