The site is a large 230 <br />acre, 112 sand and gravel operation located approximately 3 miles west of <br />Manzenolla, Colorado. Present during the inspection was Mr.Kenneth Parker, <br />supervisor road and Bridge for Otero County. <br />Site was amended in 2000 from 18.49 acres to 230, however the disturbed <br />acres had not increased significantly, since the site was amended. Durinq <br />the last inspection the only possible problem noted was a small berm that <br />was washed out along the south side of the permit, which at that time, the <br />permit acres was only 19. Since the amendment, the area that was noted to <br />be affected, in the inspection report, was included in the expanded permit <br />area of 230 acres. <br />With in the permit area is a power line and a water storage tank is <br />present. Both areas have a buffer distance of more than 200 feet from the <br />mining area and are clearly marked. There was a lot of processed stockpiled <br />material through out the active mining area. An adequate berm had been <br />constructed around the south western portion of the pit to protect runoff <br />from leaving the site. Adequate permit boundary markers and sign were <br />posted. <br />Overburden/ top soil was properly stockpile along the east side of the <br />permit area. Top soil appeared well protected and stable. No noxious weed <br />infestation noted. <br />Site was not active at the time of the inspection. According to Mr. Parker <br />the only activity on site is removal pf material from already stockpile and <br />process piles. Fresh sign of material removal was noted from one of the <br />stockpiled materials along the South West side. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />I' BL <br />NAME: KEN PARKER T FS <br />t HW <br />OPERATOR: OTERO COUNTY I' HMWMD NCH) <br />STREET: a_~ a~x 511 r <br />t SE <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP: i a uwln, cn RinSn r WOCD (CH) <br />t OTHER <br />CC: <br />cc: I' CE <br />
