PERMIT#: M-2019-027 <br /> INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: ECS <br /> INSPECTION DATE:January 15,2020 <br /> OBSERVATIONS <br /> This was a routine monitoring inspection for the 9.9 acre 110c Keensburg Project sand mine. The site is <br /> located in Weld County north of Keensburg CO one mile north of the intersection of CR59 and CR20 on the <br /> east side of CR59. The inspection was conducted in conjunction with the pre-operational inspection for the <br /> overlapping 112c SaturnX permit application currently under review by DRMS. The inspection was conducted <br /> by Eric Scott of the Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety (DRMS) who was accompanied on-site by plant <br /> manager Mike Manke, and by permitting consultant Miles Blair of Applegate. <br /> Mr. Manke stated that the site began operations in late summer 2019, and that the processing plant was now <br /> operating as planned. The existing processing plant and support area takes up almost the entire existing 9.9 <br /> acre permit area. Very little permitted area remains for excavation, wash fine storage, or off-spec materials. <br /> When the proposed 206 acre SaturnX permit is issued, it will contain the entirety of the existing 110c <br /> Keensburg Project permit area. At that time, if the permittee requests,the existing 110c permit would likely <br /> be terminated by DRMS as it will be redundant. <br /> Only one issue was observed during this inspection. The site identification sign near the site entrance should <br /> be moved to where the site access road intersects with CR59, and properly oriented so it is visible from the <br /> access road. This issue should be corrected and proof submitted to the Division of the corrective actions <br /> taken by the corrective action due date shown on the first page of this report (Jan 31, 2020). <br /> Other than the placement and orientation of the site identification sign noted above, the site appeared to be <br /> well-run and in compliance with the approved mining plan at the time of this inspection. See the attached <br /> Photos 1-6 for representative views of the site operation at this time. <br /> No other items of concern were noted during this inspection. <br /> Inspection Contact Address <br /> Mike Manke <br /> Colorado Sand Company LLC <br /> 808 9th Street <br /> Greeley,CO 80631 <br /> Page 2 of 4 <br />
