(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: nn_ivve_ne~ <br />INSPECTION DATE: (,lA/.SJ~x INSPECTOR=S INITIALS: new <br />This inspection was conducted by Tony Waldron of DMG along with Shane Cooper of Cooper Excavating. The <br />inspection was conducted as the result of a Succession of Operator an Transfer of Permit Application submitted <br />by Mr. Cooper who will be the successor permittee. The site is located approximately 28 miles southwest of <br />Canon City, Colorado. The pit is situated on the flank of a smolt mountain in inter-montane park country. There <br />was a mine identification sign present at the entrance to the site and the affected arep boundaries were <br />clearly marked. <br />The main purpose of this inspection was to gather information to complete a reclamation bond calculation so <br />the transfer can be executed. A fair portion of the site has been reclaimed along the southeast 1 /3 of the pit. <br />These slopes are 3H:1 V or flatter and are exhibiting some vegetative establishment. There is still a moderate <br />highwall along the northern most mined areo of the pit. Since the mining has not advanced all the way to the <br />north boundary, it will be an easy task to cut from the top of the slope to achieve a final slope of 3H:1 V or <br />flatter. If the site is mined out to completion, there will be approximately 6 acres to revegetate. Surface water <br />runoff is currently directed into a small sediment trap that appears to be fairly porous so that stormwater is not <br />retained for long periods of time. It is not clear how much deeper the pit can be mined, but the operator is <br />now planning on maintaining a 3H:1 V slope as mining progresses from this point forward. A full bond <br />calculation will be completed prior to approving the transfer. <br />This concluded the inspection. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: Shane Cooper <br />OPERATOR: Conner Excavating <br />STREET: 0469n C'nun{x$onti 97A.
