Dan Kehn of Don Kehn Construction was present during the <br />inspection. <br />The Timnath Pit is located approximately 2 miles south of Timnath in Larimer County, <br />Colorado. The 112 Mining and Reclamation Permit was issued to Don Kehn Construction on <br />February 24, 1993 for a permit area of 280 acres. The permit was amended in 1994 to include <br />an additional 72 acres adjacent to Larimer County Road 5. <br />The Timnath F'it consists of a 15-acre plant site adjacent to Larimer County Road 5. The <br />plant contains an office, maintenance shop, washing & screening plant, equipment storage and <br />a concrete batch plant. <br />Mining is actively taking place in the Phase I area, located at the southeastern portion of <br />the permit area. The dry mining operation is progressing towards the west. The pit is <br />approximately 10 feet deep. The operator is maintaining all mining off set distances from <br />permanent man made structures surrounding the pit. Pit slope reclamation was noted on the <br />eastern and southern pit slopes. On the southeast corner, pit slopes appear steeper than <br />3h:ly. The operator will need to regrade this area to achieve the approved 3h:ly slope <br />configuration. Final reclamation of the site will be constructed wetland habitat. Some <br />wetland speci=_s were observed in the wash plant pond. <br />The operator s~.tated that material from off site has been used for backfilling material in the <br />pit. In order for the operator to reclaim the site using inert material, compliance with <br />Rule 3.1.5(9). will need to be met. A copy of the rule regarding use of inert fill is <br />enclosed. Because inert fill has already been placed in the pit the Division considers this <br />a problem that needs to be addressed. Please see page 3 for compliance due dates. <br />I ~ E Contact Address <br /> j' CE <br />NAME Dan Kehn ]' BL <br />OPERATOR Don Kehn Construction r FS <br />STREET 6550 SCR 5 [' HW <br />CITYISTAT ElZIf' Fort Collins, Colorado 80528 [' HMWMD (CH) <br /> [' SE <br /> [' WQCD (CH) <br />cc: Carl Mount; DMG <br />~ ~ooa ~~ <br />
