PERMIT#:M-1999-047 <br /> INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: ECS <br /> INSPECTION DATE:February 5,2020 <br /> OBSERVATIONS <br /> This was a routine monitoring inspection of the Adamson Brothers Pit, a 110c construction materials operation. <br /> This inspection was conducted by Eric Scott of DRMS, no operator representative was present for the <br /> inspection. The current bond posted for this site is $9900. The slopes of the pit have been largely replaced at a <br /> 3:1 slope or flatter with the exception of a small area in the NW corner of the site, and there appears to be <br /> sufficient topsoil/growth media stockpiled along the north and south pit boundaries for reclamation. This <br /> material would need to be spread and the entire area seeded to complete reclamation. Only minimal additional <br /> earthwork would be required to complete the reclamation if no additional disturbance is created on site. <br /> A large stockpile of caliche material was present in the center of the pit, which looked recently disturbed, but <br /> there did not seem to be any areas of fresh excavation. Some erosion gullies were observed starting on the re- <br /> sloped pit walls and these will need to be repaired and stabilized. Because no further excavation is possible in <br /> the directions of the re-sloped walls without going outside the permit area, DRMS suggests replacing the topsoil <br /> in those areas and starting the revegetation process to prevent further erosion and speed the final reclamation <br /> process. <br /> Problems observed during the inspection have been identified at the beginning of the report and consist of the <br /> missing permit identification sign and boundary markers. These issues will need to be resolved by the corrective <br /> action dates listed above. <br /> Because the reclamation bond has not been adjusted in quite some time, the Division may also calculate a surety <br /> increase to account for increased costs to the state for the remaining earthwork and revegetation. A surety <br /> increase revision will be sent to the operator under separate cover and the operator will have 60 days from the <br /> date of the surety increase to provide the revised bond amount to the Division. <br /> Inspection Contact Address <br /> Shane Galles <br /> Dry Creek Gulch Farms,-LLC <br /> 505A East 8th Ave. <br /> Yuma,CO 80759 <br /> Page 2 of 4 <br />
