(Page 2) <br />MINE ID# OR PROSPECTING ID# M-1992-007 INSPECTION DATE 04/13/04 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS GRS <br />This was a routine monitoring inspection of the Tuttle Pit No. 1, conducted by Gregg Squire <br />of the Division of Minerals and Geology. Marvin Moore, consultant for Moffat County was <br />also present. The pit is located a few miles west of Elk Springs, Colorado. <br />Moffat County has recently implemented a storm water runoff control program at its pits. <br />Through the use of a combination of perimeter ditches and berms, diversion structures and <br />sediment traps, and in-pit ponding areas, the vast majority of surface run off generated on- <br />site is contained within each pit. <br />The majority of this pit has been mined, the County may continue to cut into the ridge to <br />the southeast for one more crushing. When the initial topsoil striping was done, along the <br />east side of the pit, the trees were dozed into a windrow along the east permit boundary. <br />The initial plan was to remove this windrow prior to final reclamation. While at the site a <br />discussion was held about the possibility of leaving the trees as an area which would provide <br />cover for wildlife and to function as a sediment trap to prevent off-site transport of <br />sediment. This could be approved by the Division if the operator submitted a Technical <br />Revision, provided that a letter of concurrence from the surface owner was included with the <br />TR application. <br />The Permit ID sign was posted at the entrance to the site. The permit boundaries were <br />located, no disturbance was observed outside the permit boundaries. The site is stable and <br />no problems were noted during the inspection. <br />I & $ Contact Address <br />NAME Mr. Marvin Moore <br />OPERATOR Moffat County <br />STREET P.O.
