ORIGINAL -PUBLIC FILE <br />(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: AA-199?-~F3~ <br />INSPECTION DATE: 11/lZlrld INSPECTOROS INITIALS: -aK- <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />The Division conducted a monitoring inspection of the site as part of sites <br />to be inspected with in the fiscal year 2004-2005. The site is a 112-clay <br />operation located in E1 Paso County approximately 2 miles South of Clahan <br />Colorado. Present during the inspection was Mr. Matt Welte of Summit <br />Pressed Brick & Tile. The site was not active at the time of the <br />inspection. When the site was last inspected, in 2000, the only problem <br />noted was, topsoil was not properly stabilized. The corrective action was <br />to stabilize the topsoil and prevent from siltation build up along the <br />County Road. Operator installed a silt fence along the county Roadside of <br />the permit and stabilized the topsoil. Topsoil stockpile located along the <br />West side of the permit was properly stabilized. No major sign of erosion <br />features noted. According the Mr. Matt Welte, present during the <br />inspection, the only activity at the site since 1994 had been removal of <br />material from the already stockpiled clay along the East side of the permit <br />area. There was evidence of fresh removal of material from the stockpiled <br />material noted at the time of the inspection. Mr. Welte also mentioned that <br />the operator plans to start mining with in the next month and plans to <br />change the sequence of mining and wants to start in the Phase IV area. He <br />was notified to submit a new map showing the new direction of mining and <br />changes to the phased operation. The existing plan calls to mine from east <br />to west in four PHASES. <br />Inspected the existing pit area, high walls were stable, pit floor was dry <br />with the exception of a very small puddle of water from the recent <br />snowstorms. Water was not sampled for PH. Permit sign and boundary markers <br />were properly displayed. Financial warranty is adequate to cover the cost <br />of phased operation. However, if the size of the phased operation is going <br />to be increased, the operator will need to notify the Division so the <br />warranty will be calculated accordingly. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: MR JOE WELTE Harry Posey (e-mail) <br />OPERATOR: SUMMIT PRESSED BRICK & TILE CO cc: r CE <br />STREET: P n ROX 533 t BL <br />r FS <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP: auFal ~, c~ Rtno~-n53s r HW <br />T HMWMD (CH) <br />r <br />CC: I' WQCD (CH) <br />
