OPERATORS <br /> SHOULD READ THE FOLLOWING PAGES CAREFULLY IN ORDER TO ASSURE COMPLIANCE <br /> WITH THE TERMS OF THE PERMIT AND APPLICABLE RULES AND REGULATIONS. If a <br /> Possible Violation is indicated, you will be notified under separate cover as to when the Mined Land <br /> Reclamation Board will consider possible enforcement action. <br /> INSPECTION TOPIC: Signs & Markers <br /> PROBLEM/POSSIBLE VIOLATION: Problem: The existing mine identification sign and affected area/permit <br /> boundary markers were not in place per the requirements of Rule 3.1.12. <br /> CORRECTIVE ACTIONS:The operator must post a sign at the entrance to the mine site which shall be clearly <br /> visible from the access road and specify the following; the name of the operator, indicate that a reclamation <br /> permit for the operation has been issued by the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board, and the permit <br /> number. The existing sign is set back from the road/site entrance and facing into the site, so this will need to be <br /> corrected. <br /> The boundaries of the affected area must be marked by monuments or other markers that are clearly visible <br /> and adequate to delineate such boundaries. Although the surveyed boundary markers (wood lath) were <br /> recently placed, and properly located, they have been almost all knocked down already by cattle and will be <br /> insufficient to mark the permit boundary in the future. The markers will need to be replaced with something <br /> that will not be destroyed by cattle at a spacing that will allow field personnel to properly identify the permit <br /> boundary and corners. <br /> CORRECTIVE ACTION DUE DATE: 1/31/20 <br /> Page 1 of 4 <br />
