(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID # M-1977-222 <br />INSPECTION DATE 11/30/2006 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS DEG <br />This inspection of Permit Number M-1977-222 (Rocky Ford South Pit) was conducted by Deb E. G6nima of the DRMS as part <br />of the routine monitoring and inspection protocol. Herb K. Pearson and Wayne Adams, Valco, Inc. were present during this <br />inspection. The pit is located 3 miles southwest of Rocky Ford, CO, and currently consists of approximately 147 acres. <br />The mine entrance identification sign was posted, but the mine name and permit number were faded and should be made more <br />clearly visible per Rule 3.1.12(1)(c). <br />The topsoil stockpile is located at the southern and eastern perimeter of the pit. There are a few material stockpiles that are <br />situated near the center of the site, southeast of the mine entrance (see photo 1). There was a wheel loader on site at the time <br />of this inspection, but no evidence of fuel or hazardous materials was observed. <br />All other activities and completed work at the time of inspection appeared to follow the guidelines and regulations set forth by <br />the state and the approved mining and reclamation plans for the pit, and no additional problems are noted for this site. The site <br />appears stable, and no disturbance was observed outside of the approved permit boundaries. For future reference, this site is <br />correctly positioned in the DRMS online GIS. <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to Deb E. G6nima at the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety, <br />Denver Office, 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, Colorado 80203, phone number 303-866-4179. <br />I & E Contact Address cc: ^ CE <br />NAME Herb K.
