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 /> P-1981-030 Converse Ward Davis Dixon, Grand Union/Montag <br /> Inc. <br /> Type of Mine: NOI Commodity Mined- Gold <br /> PRE-RECLAMATION SITE CONDITIONS <br /> The Grand Union/Montag operation is located on private property five miles west of the Town of Como in Park <br /> County, Colorado. The Notice of Intent (NOI) to prospect was issued to Converse Ward Davis Dixon, Inc. in <br /> 1981. In 2003, the NOI was revoked and the bond money was forfeited. <br /> The NOI file describes a number of trenches to be constructed on site 700 to 1,000 feet long, 3-10 feet wide and <br /> 0-30 feet deep. As the trench was constructed, bulk sampling took place followed by backfilling of the trench to <br /> natural contour and revegetation. The Division inspected the site in 2010 and again in 2011 accompanied by the <br /> property caretakers Van and Laura. Numerous trenches and pits were noted on site that were not reclaimed by <br /> the prospector. Trenches on the south facing slope (six in total) contain vegetation that naturally established <br /> over the years. On the north-facing slope, trenches (four in total) were very deep and contained little to no <br /> vegetation. <br /> BIDDING/CONSTRUCTION INFORMATION <br /> Type of Bid Documented Quote Purchase Order <br /> (circle one) Invi - . . to. <br /> PO Number: Contractor Name &Address: Construction Purchase Order Amount - <br /> PKA-12-1227 Dates: $12,950.00 <br /> Berry Trucking and Change Order Amount- $3,000.00 <br /> Excavating, Inc.

Ammons St. End: 10/12/2012 Project Cost: $16,362.00 <br /> July 27, 2012 Littleton, CO 80128 <br /> Construction Work Description <br /> The Notice to Proceed was sent to Berry Trucking and Excavating, Inc. on September 28, 2012. Construction <br /> began on October 1, 2012. Due to the limited bond money and existing vegetation in some of the trenches, the <br /> Division combined a number of techniques to reclaim the site. The largest trench (Trench #1) was backfilled and <br /> graded to 3H:1V slopes where possible. The slope was roughened to create gouges in the cut slope using the <br /> track excavator. Three pits above the ponds were backfilled with the excavator and left in a rough state. Four of <br /> the large trenches and terminal piles on the north facing slope were only revegetated. All disturbed areas noted <br /> above were revegetated with the subalpine seed mixture, applied Biosol Plus (7-2-1) at a rate of 800 lbs/acre and <br /> mulched. A change order was issued to include revegetation of additional trenches on the north-facing slope. <br /> Remaining Reclamation Requirements and Estimated Cost: <br /> None at this time. <br /> (/149 <br /> Project Mana r Senior Proj'ct Mr-er <br /> ��?i'a zD) - i w"6 <br /> Date I Date <br /> 1 <br />
