<br />(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID # <br />INSPECTION DATE _ <br /> <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS _ <br />This was a pre-operational inspection conducted by Tony Waldron of DMG along with Raymond <br />Dellacroce and Ron Turner representing the operators. The site is located south of Monument, <br />Colorado and approximately 2 miles west of Interstate 25 off of Baptist Road in Section 34, <br />Township 11 south, Range 67 west of the 6th P.M. The operator is requesting an amendment to <br />their existing permit which would increase the permit area from 14.6 acres( 11.2 affected) <br />to 146 acres( 64.8 affected). The current pit is located on the east end of a small alluvial <br />mountain or ridge that trends from west to east. The amendment will expand the pit to the <br />west and encompass the remainder of the ridge. <br />The pit is located in the center of a 700+ acre ranch and as such there are no structures of <br />concern within 200 feet of affected area boundary. The topsoil is very variable on this site <br />ranging from zero on the ridgetops to fairly significant amounts in depositional areas below <br />the ridgetop. The SCS report indicates that the typical soils in this area have 3-6 inches <br />of topsoil available. The vegetative community is a typical mountain-shrub(oakbrush/mountain <br />mahogany/chokecherry) with some small inclusions of ponderosa pine. The post-mining landuse <br />will be rangeland. Apparently the small stock pond that also serves as sediment control <br />structure is currently not included in the permit area. This will be reviewed prior to <br />sending out the adequacy letter. Overall, the plan for expansion appears to have adequately <br />addressed the areas that DMG has jurisdiction over and appears to be a good plan with respect <br />to minimizing impacts to the surrounding areas. This concluded the inspection. <br />I & E Contact Addr <br />NAME Raymond and Robert Dellacroce <br />OPERATOR Raymond and Robert Dellacroce <br />STREET 2210 West Baptist Road <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP Colorado Springs.
