(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID # M-2002-046 <br />INSPECTION DATE 12/23/02 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS GRM <br />This inspection was preformed as part of the normal review process established by the Colorado Division of Minerals and <br />Geology for a new application. This site was previously inspected on 4/29/02 for the original permit application. DMG staff felt <br />a second visit was warranted because of the lapse of time and amendment to the application. The inspector was accompanied <br />on site by operator s representative Gayle Lyman. <br />The site of the proposed 112c gravel operation is located southwest of the intersection of 29 %. and D Roads. Total proposed <br />acreage for the permitted area is 104 acres of which 81 will be mined. <br />The correct public notice was observed at the maih entrance to the area as required under Rule 1.6.2 (b). <br />Current land use is agricultural in nature. The land owner intends to keep land in such use until it is time to mine a particular <br />phase of the operation. <br />The operator s representative stated that buildings noted for destruction had been issued demolition permits by the city. A <br />general discussion was undertaken pertaining to the amendment and Preliminary Adequacy Review underway. No major <br />issues have surfaced and the operator is concluding the notification of adjacent landowners process. The proposed wetlands <br />bank has been modified. The operator is working with the Corp of Engineers on a plan for the undisturbed portion of the permit <br />designated for this purpose. At the present time, the bank will not be constructed as originally proposed. The operator hopes <br />to address the wetlands bank in the future. <br />No issues were noted pertaining to the existing site that are not referenced within the permit application or amendment under <br />review. <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to Russ Means at the Division of Minerals and Geology, Grand Junction <br />Field Office, 101 South 3`° Street, Room 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, phone no. 970-241-1117. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME Gavle Lvman <br />OPERATOR Ephemeral Resources, LLC. <br />STREET 1225 South Seventh Street <br />CITY/STATE/21P Grand Junction, Colorado 81501 <br />cc: <br />^ CE <br />^ BL <br />^ FS <br />^ HW <br />^ HMWMD (CH) <br />^ SE <br />^ WOCD (CH) <br />^ OTHER <br />
