(Page 21 <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: M-2005-021 <br />INSPECTION DATE: 5-23-07 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS GRM <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This inspection was conducted as part of the normal program established by the Colorado Division of Reclamation, <br />Mining and Safety for amendments to permitted sites. The Anderson Pit is a 112c permitted site located east of <br />Delta on 1800 Road. The amendment is to add an additional 82.76 acres to the already permitted area. <br />The correct notice was observed at site access at the turn off from 1800 Road. The area of the amendment is <br />primarily agricultural fields between the eastern edge of the existing permit and 1800 Road. <br />A review of existing man-made structures on Map C-1 shows that an undergound fuel storage tank located at the <br />farmhouse is not noted. The Division will need a new map showing the UST. Mr. Kerr will need to provide the <br />documentation of the Phase 1 and 2 environmental assessments of the UST for Division records. Ifthe assessments <br />do not include decommissioning, the operator will have to submit a plan to do so. <br />The inspector notes some old faun machinery and piles of tires along the northern edge of the proposed mining are. <br />Mr. Kerr notes the tires will be hauled away eventually for recycling. The disposition of the machinery is still open <br />for discussion between the former landowner and the permitee. However, the permitee will be responsible for the <br />removal of said equipment prior to any full or partial release of the area. <br />Several species of noxious weeds are noted. The operator has indicated within the amendment text that a weed <br />control plan is in place and will be extended to this area. <br />Other than the minor issues noted above, there appears to be no major problems or issues at this time. <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to Russ Means at the Division of Reclamation, Mining and <br />Safety, Grand Junction Field Office, 101 South 3`d Street, Room 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, phone no. <br />970-241-1117. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: Brent Kerr <br />OPERATOR: United /Old Castle <br />STREET: P.O.
