PERMIT#:M-2010-016 <br /> INSPECTOR'S INITIALS:ACY <br /> INSPECTION DATE:February 22,2022 <br /> OBSERVATIONS <br /> This inspection was conducted as part of the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (Division) <br /> normal monitoring program. The East Bradbury Pit is a 112c permitted site that includes a total of 129 <br /> permitted acres. The site located is approximately six miles southeast of Whitewater, Colorado and is accessed <br /> from Highway 50. Jim Doody of Grand Junction Pipe & Supply Co. represented the operator and accompanied <br /> Amy Yeldell of the Division on the inspection. <br /> There is a locked gate to access the pit from Highway 50,with no acceleration or deceleration lanes making <br /> access difficult. This site has yet to commence mining activity and remains undisturbed. There are no <br /> stockpiles, equipment, fuel or structures on site. Some trash including carcass disposal was observed however it <br /> does not appear to be due to mining and therefore is not cited as a problem. Its noted that this property adjoins <br /> BLM so degradation to the site is likely the result of trespassing. <br /> The site continues to be overran with what appears to be Halogeton (a noxious weed). Very little desirable <br /> vegetation. This inspection was conducted during the dormant growing seasons and positive vegetative litter <br /> may be less apparent amongst the weeds. Pre-law disturbances in addition to the general and nature of the area <br /> make for very tough growing conditions, therefore this is not cited as a problem. <br /> The Division currently requires a financial warranty amount of$107,139 for this site. <br /> No problems or violations were noted during this inspection. <br /> Responses to this inspection report should be directed to: Amy Yeldell at the Division of Reclamation, Mining <br /> and Safety, Rm 215, 1001 E 62nd Ave, Denver, CO 80216.
