(Page 3) MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #_ INSPECTION DATE_ INSPECTOR'S INITIALS CBM 4. The approved permit application states on page 8 of the Mine Plan (Exhibit D) that no more than 35 acres will be disturbed at any one time. A copy of the 1:10,000 scale map of the disturbance areas indicates that there is a large area of disturbance totaling 52.69 acres that is north and west of the "partially mined" area (see Mining Plan Map, Exhibit C-1 ). The "partially mined" area was measured and found to be approximately 10.39 acres for a total disturbed acreage of approximately 63 acres. Therefore, actual mining at this time disturbs approximately 63 acres. Haul road disturbance, estimated from map measurements, totals an additional 1 acre ((1600 feet long x 30 feet wide) / 43,560 square feet per acre). This is a problem since the existing bond probably does not cover this amount of disturbance at this point and the presently approved permit does not allow for this much acreage to be disturbed atone time or in the place that it is disturbed. The operator must file a change to the permit to allow this amount of disturbance in this area by no later than September 30, 2005 or this could be considered a possible violation of CRS 34-32.5-116(1) for failure to perform reclamation prescribed by the reclamation plan adopted pursuant to the Colorado Land Reclamation Act for the Extraction of Construction Materials.
