(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: ~~-~OOn-ns~ <br />INSPECTION DATE: 'i/9/ns INSPECTOR S INITIALS: .~.AI' <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This inspection was conducted as part of the 4-year monitoring program conducted by the Division of <br />Minerals and Geology. Present at the inspection were Kate Pickford and Harry Posey, DMG, and Tom <br />Smith and Telly LaBus, Rocky Mountain Materials and Asphalt, Inc. Weather at the time of the inspection <br />was clear, calm, and approximately 60 degrees. <br />2. A sign is posted at the entrance to the site, the boundaries, however, are not marked. Although the <br />permit area lies along the top of the ridge, to the bottom of the gravel deposit, the natural features of <br />the area do not adequately depict the permit boundaries (See problem 1, Page 3 of this report). The <br />site currently consists of a single excavated area and an area to the west used to stockpile material. <br />Mr. Smith stated that the material acquired from the site is not suitable for use in asphalt or concrete. <br />Some material is removed from the site annually, however, for use as road base. <br />3. This site is permitted for 193.28 acres, with a maximum disturbance of 15 acres. It appears that the <br />operation is currently below its maximum allowance for disturbed acreage. The topsoil stockpile is <br />located on the east side of the excavated area. The topsoil stockpile is currently devoid of vegetation, <br />and Mr. Smith was advised as to the Rules and Regulations regarding seeding of stockpiled topsoil (See <br />problem 2, Page 3of this report). <br />4. There was concern during the inspection, that the excavated area was within 200 feet of a gas well <br />located in the permit area. Mr. Smith indicated that there is an agreement with the well owner that the <br />area where the well is located will be mined through and the well ultimately lowered. A damage <br />agreement between the operator and the well owner was located in the permit application, therefore <br />there is not problem related to the well. <br />5. The current bond amount of $32,400 appears to be adequate for reclamation of the site. A partial <br />bond calculation, however, will be conducted in order to confirm that the amount is adequate. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: Tom Smith <br />OPERATOR: Rocky~Aauntain Materials & Asphalt.
