(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID # M-1993-023 <br />INSPECTION DATE 07/12/2006 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS DEG <br />This routine monitoring inspection of Permit Number M-2002-059 (Sunbeam Pit #1) was conducted by Deb E. Gonima of the <br />DMG. Moffat County representative Marvin Moore was present during this inspection. The pit is located approximately 5 miles <br />west of Maybell, CO on Highway 318, and currently consists of approximately 68.15 acres where approximately40 acres have <br />been disturbed. <br />Mine entrance signs and permit boundary markers are all in place, and topsoil stockpiles are all well-marked. All activities and <br />completed work at the time of inspection appeared to follow the guidelines and regulations set forth by the state and the mining <br />and reclamation plans for the pit, and no problems are noted for this site. The site is stable and no disturbance was observed <br />outside of the approved permit boundaries. For future reference, this site is correctly positioned in the DMG online GIS. <br />The large material stockpile is situated near the northern-center of the site, north of the mine entrance. The majority of the site <br />is still active, and no reclamation has begun. There are two pit areas, in the shape of a basin that lie on the western portion of <br />the site (see photos 2 & 3). Awell-maintained secondary containment area for possible fuel storage exists near the mine <br />entrance, but no fuel storage took place at the time of this inspection. <br />A storm water runoff control program was implemented a few years back and seems to have been successful in its use of <br />diversion structures, sediment traps, and small ponding areas. There appears to be no offsite erosion, and no long-term <br />(greater than 72 hours) water retention was observed. <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to Deb E.
