Pa e 2 <br />MINE ID # OR INSPECTOR'S <br />PROSPECTING ID #: M-199&034 INSPECTION DATE: 08/14/2006 INITIALS: RMW <br />This inspection was conducted as part of the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (Division) monitoring <br />program. Present at the inspection were Richard Wenzel of the Division and Joe Docheff of Mountain Park <br />Concrete, Inc. <br />A sign was posted at the entrance to the site and the north, east and south permit boundaries were marked with <br />fences. The west permit boundary parallels the right-of way for County Road 3 and was delineated by an earthen <br />bean. <br />At the time of this inspection, no mining activity was occurring at the site; however, mining equipment was staged <br />near the northwest comer of the site. The mining that has taken place up to this point has been at the north end of <br />the site and has progressed from west to east creating a near vertical slope up toapproximatelytwenty-five feet in <br />height. In the northeast comer of the site, topsoil has been stripped and stockpiled as a berm along the east side of <br />the site. Additional topsoil and overburden are stockpiled south of the mining area as shown in the photographs on <br />page four of this report. The topsoil stockpiles appear to have an adequate cover of vegetation to protect them from <br />erosion. <br />An infestation of Diffuse Knapweed was observed along the west berm north of the entrance to the site, and along <br />the north permit boundary. The Division recommends that the operator implement the weed control measures <br />outlined in the reclamation plan of the original permit to control this noxious weed. This issue is noted as a problem <br />on page three of this report, and will require a response by the operator. <br />Overall, the site was very neat and well maintained. There was no evidence of erosion, indicating that storm water <br />runoff is well controlled and contained within the permitted area. No significant problems, otherthan presence of a <br />noxious weed, were identified during this inspection. <br />Based on the amount of disturbance observed during this inspection, the current bond is adequate to coverthe cost <br />of reclamation. <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to Richard Wenzel at the Division of Reclamation, Mining <br />and Safety, Denver Office, 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, Colorado 80203, phone number 303-866- <br />4935. <br />Enforcement and Inspection Contact Address <br />NAME: Mr. Jae Docheff III <br />OPERATOR: Mountain Park Concrete, Inc. <br />STREET: P.
