(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID # M-1984-152 <br />INSPECTION DATE 4/28/2004 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS SSS <br />This was a routine monitoring inspection conducted as part of DMG's ongoing monitoring program for permitted mines in <br />Colorado. <br />No significant erosional features were noted on the affected areas of the site. <br />The mine identification sign and affected area boundary markers are in place and in compliance with Rule 3.1.12. <br />No significant infestations of noxious or other problematic weeds were noted though there are some thistle rosettes on the <br />topsoil stockpile that will require control to prevent spreading and infestation.. <br />The pit was currently inactive for excavation. Some trucks were loading from stockpiles. <br />The highwall has been knocked down from vertical to an approximate 3:1 grade, leaving the topsoil pile located at the highwall <br />crest. Operations will soon begin to move overburden to the crest of the pit outslope to begin reclamation in the mined out <br />portion. Pit floor storage is limited at this site, so only a small acreage can be reclaimed at this time. <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to Steve Shuey at the Division of Minerals and Geology, Grand Junction <br />Field Office, 101 South 3rd Street, Room 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, phone number 970-243-6368. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />cc: <br /> ^ CE <br />NAME Kevin Hunt ^ BL <br />OPERATOR Montrose Countv ^ FS <br />STREET 161 South Townsend ^ Hyy <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP Montrose.
