The Owner was contacted several days in advance and made <br />arrangements for the Operator, Mr. Ed Kite of All Rite Paving and Redi-Mix, Inc. to accompany this inspector. <br />An excellent mine identification sign was observed on the gate to the property, and Mr. Kite conducted this inspector to each <br />of the four boundary markers. The boundaries are marked with a piece of approximately 2.375" drill pipe placed in the <br />ground, sticking up approximately 8 feet. <br />The site is located approximately one mile north of the town of Manzanola and approximately 1/2 mile east of highway 207 <br />off of CR A.6. The operation is mining an alluvial gravel terrace associated with the Arkansas River. The mine Floor will be <br />approximately two to four feet above the river elevation staying above the water table. This property directly adjoins the <br />Arkansas River and is offset from the river by a 250 foot wide buffer. The buffer is marked using a pile of overburden placed <br />as a berm. This is an excellent way to prevent mining disturbance from encroaching on the river. <br />The pit was idle at the time of inspection. The only work done to date has been removal of several thousand tons of gravel <br />and clearing a Flat work area to set the screening plant on. This deposit is expected to generate a considerable quantity of <br />reject material, and the question of where to place reject sand while waiting for a place to backfill it was discussed. The reject <br />sand stockpile must be placed within the permit affected area. This may add to the area required to be bonded and increase <br />the bond. The Division will perform a review of the bond calculation will be performed based upon the permit and <br />consideration given to the proposed reject stockpileslternative. <br />No fuel or oil is being stored in the pit at the time of the inspection. <br />A storm water management plan is in effect for this property, and must be followed as the mine progresses <br />No revegetation has taken place at this time, as the pit is still under development. Concurrent reclamation with mining will <br />allow the Owner and Operator to keep the bond amount as small as possible. <br />No problems were noted at the time of inspection. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />Xc: Mr. Albert Nesselhuf <br />31160 CR 14 <br />Manzanola, CO 81058 <br />NAME: <br />cc: ~~It1r. )im Stevens <br />^ CE <br />^ BL <br />^ FS <br />^ HW <br />^ HMWMD (CH) <br />^ SE <br />^ WQCD (CH) <br />OPERATOR: All Rite Paving and Redi-Mix.
