PERMIT#:M-1981-256 <br /> INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: ECS <br /> INSPECTION DATE:February 5,2020 <br /> OBSERVATIONS <br /> This was a routine monitoring inspection for the Eckberg Pit, an active Yuma County 112c sand and gravel <br /> permit, conducted by Eric Scott of DBMS. DRMS followed Yuma County Road and Bridge representative Don <br /> Marr to the site, and observed the site with them at approximately 1230. This inspection was conducted at the <br /> request of Yuma County so that the County and DRMS could consult on the ongoing reclamation activities <br /> taking place at the site. <br /> Yuma County has approximately 45 acres currently permitted at this location. Mining has been completed at the <br /> site and the County has made an extensive effort to reclaim the previously affected area within the permit <br /> boundary. Additional sloping and contouring has been completed in previously disturbed areas of the site to <br /> enhance long term stability and minimize erosion. (Photos 2-4). <br /> The Division is optimistic that the efforts Yuma County has undertaken, such as the significant slope re- <br /> contouring, elimination of existing erosion channels, and surface water run-on control will result in a much <br /> more stable long term configuration for the site and enhance the chances that the final reclamation will be <br /> successful. <br /> The mining site identification sign was observed at the Eckberg site entrance (Photo 1), and t-post permit <br /> boundary markers were in place. No other issues were observed during this inspection. <br /> Inspection Contact Address <br /> Don Marr <br /> Yuma County <br /> 1310 S.Blake St. <br /> Wray,CO 80758 <br /> Page 2 of 3 <br />
