PERMIT #: M-1981-250 <br />INSPECTOR’S INITIALS: ECS <br />INSPECTION DATE: July 13, 2021 <br /> <br /> <br />Page 2 of 3 <br /> <br />OBSERVATIONS <br /> <br /> <br />This was a routine monitoring inspection of the Brand Pit conducted by DRMS with Yuma County Road and <br />Bridge supervisor Don Marr. This site is a 242 acre 112c sand and gravel pit located approximately 7 miles east <br />of Wray Colorado. The main entrance to the pit is located off the west side of County Road M, between <br />County Roads 45 and 46. The site identification sign was posted at the entrance from County Road M (photo <br />1). <br /> <br />A tour of the active area showed that the general condition and operation of the site was excellent. All <br />working faces and stockpiles were properly sloped and stable, and topsoil and overburden stockpiles appeared <br />to be well vegetated for stability. The steep area observed near the junction of the site access road with the <br />active area during the previous inspection has been regraded and revegetated. Mr. Marr stated during the <br />inspection that the County was going to reclaim a large area of existing disturbance on the SE portion of the <br />permit to minimize the active disturbance. <br /> <br />As always with this type of larger 112c site, DRMS recommends that Yuma County maintain good weed <br />control, concurrent reclamation, and runoff management practices to avoid issues that could result in minor <br />infractions or that may delay final reclamation. <br /> <br />No other issues were noted during this inspection. <br /> <br />Inspection Contact Address <br />Don Marr <br />Yuma County <br />1310 S.
