MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: M-~ 2995-ns INSPECTION DATE: 2-»-f12 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: -BLL OBSERVATIONS The Division conducted a monitoring inspection of the site AT THE REQUEST OF THE OPEARTOR THAT IS TRYING TO SUCCED THE SITE FROM EL PASO COUNTY. The site is a small 6 acre sand and gravel operation, mostly stream deposit located approximately 2 miles South of Ramah Colorado, and operated by EI Paso County. On 6-19-02, the Division received a Transfer of permit and succession of operation application, waiving their right to a 30- day processing time for approving the application. The waiver was needed to allow the Division to calculate the appropriate financial warranty based on the current and proposed future disturbance. Mr Henry Schuller, the private operator who is trying to succeed the operation thought the permit area was 9.9 acres and wanted the DMG representative to show him the permit boundary markers, and explain to him what he would need to increase the permit area. The Division prior to the site visit calculated the amount of warranty that will be needed for the present disturbance so it will be presented during the site visit. The Division also brought along an amendment application that will be needed to expand the permit area from its present 6 acres to 9.9 acres. The Division walked and pointed out all four permit boundary markers to Mr. Schuller and discussed possible ways he could expand the permit area, depending where the resources he wants to mine are located. A brief discussion was also held on how to satisfy his storm water permit application, to CDOH&E. He sated that he thought the permit area was 9.9 acres and with that in mind, he was going to submit a warranty in the amount of $20,000.00. He was informed that the warranty is determined based on the amount of acreage the operator wants to disturb and the approved reclamation plan, and provided him a copy of the Division's warranty calculations based on the 6 acres that was permitted by the County. He was also provided with a copy of an Amendment application form so he can submit it, to the Division with a revised map ,and any changes to the mining and reclamation plans, he wants to implement. He stated that all he wants is to add acreage to the permit area. All mining and reclamation plans are to remain as was approved in the original permit. He agreed to have the area professionally surveyed and provide the required maps with the Amendment application. He also stated that he can wait for the Division to approve both the Amendment and SO, at the same time.
