PERMIT#:M-1983-013 <br /> INSPECTOR'S INITIALS:ACY <br /> INSPECTION DATE:December 21,2021 <br /> The approved Reclamation Plan (under AM-1)calls for one 63 ac pond, approximately 21 ac of an agricultural <br /> laydown yard with the rest of the areas being revegetated. Map is attached. Completion of mining has resulted <br /> in a different configuration. The agricultural laydown yard is approximately 17 acres. Four ponds have been <br /> established (14.5 ac, 5 ac, 8 ac, and 13 ac)with a total surface acreage of 40.5 acres rather than one pond. Under <br /> the Division of Water Resources Well Permit 9 67861-F the site is permitted for 49.9 surface acres of pond. The <br /> remaining areas is vegetated with a mixture of wetland and dry rangeland type vegetation. <br /> The actual site conditions do not reflect the approved reclamation plan, this is cited as a problem. Prior to the <br /> Division making a decision on this request(AR-1)the reclamation plan needs to be revised through the <br /> Technical Revision process to coincide with the actual site conditions (submit as-build drawings). For clarity <br /> please label phases or areas so that future releases can be clearly delineated. AR-I has as decision date of <br /> March 4, 2022. The Technical revision needs to be submitted and approved prior to that decision date. <br /> Once a Revised Reclamation Plan is approved that reflects the current site conditions the Operator will have <br /> successfully complied with the requirements of the Act, Rules and Regulations, and the approved Reclamation <br /> Plan, and the requested portion of the permit area is ready to be released from any further reclamation <br /> responsibility. <br /> Responses to this inspection report should be directed to: Amy Yeldell at the Division of Reclamation, Mining <br /> and Safety, 1313 Sherman St., Room 215, Denver, CO 80203.
