PERMIT #: M-2021-027 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: ECS <br />INSPECTION DATE: December 9, 2021 <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This was a routine monitoring inspection conducted by Eric Scott of DRMS, accompanied by permittee <br />representative Justin Smith of Oak Creek Consulting. The site entrance is located on the east side of WCR 23 <br />approximately 600 feet north of the intersection with WCR 118. The site is a 9.88 acre 110c permit with a <br />$33,060 reclamation bond. The approved reclamation plan for the site is rangeland. The site identification <br />sign was present (photo 1) and permit boundary markers were observed. <br />This permit was issued in 2021 and active mining was taking place during the inspection. The majority of the <br />permitted area has been affected at this time and mining activity was taking place in accordance with the <br />approved mining plan. The primary excavation is located near the center of the permit area to make room for <br />a processing plant, then being expanded first to the east, then westward. Stockpiled material was located at <br />the west end of the permit and along the north permit boundary. Overburden and topsoil stockpiles were <br />placed along the south permit boundary. Mr. Smith stated that they may wish to convert the site soon to a <br />larger 112c permit due to demand for material in the area. <br />No other issues were noted during this inspection. <br />Inspection Contact Address <br />Justin Smith <br />Oak Creek Consulting and Production Services L.L.0 <br />PO Box 251 <br />Ault, CO 80610 <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />
