Colorado Inactive Mine Reclamation Program <br /> CLOSEOUT REPORT <br /> ACTIVE MINE BOND FORFEITURE PROJECTS <br /> Permit Information <br /> Permit Number Operator Name Mine Name <br /> M-1985-157 Anderson Construction Stewart Pit <br /> Type of Mine: 111- Surface Commodity Mined- Sand and Gravel <br /> PRE-RECLAMATION SITE CONDITIONS <br /> The Steward Pit is located on private property owned by the Nature Conservancy. The site is one mile south of <br /> the Sand Dunes National Park in Alamosa County, Colorado. The 111 mine permit was issued in 1985 for a <br /> sand and gravel operation consisting of two gravel pits. In 1989, the permit was revoked and the bond money <br /> was forfeited. The Division reclaimed the site in 1993 by reducing pit slopes to 4H:1V, replacing topsoil and <br /> reseeding. Remaining bond money was purposely held to ensure that successful revegetation could be <br /> achieved. <br /> The Division inspected the site in 2011 and determined that areas of the pit required additional revegetation <br /> efforts. The Division worked closely with the Nature Conservancy to formulate an all-native seed mixture to be <br /> used on site. <br /> BIDDING/CONSTRUCTION INFORMATION <br /> Type of Bid Documented Quote e Order <br /> (circle one) Invitation for Bid Direct Bill <br /> PO Number: Contractor Name & Address: Construction Direct Bill Amount - $854.68 <br /> Direct Bill Dates: Seed/Broadcast Purchase- $572.32 <br /> Berry Trucking and <br /> Excavating, Inc.
