(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID # N-77-193 <br />INSPECTION DATE 12/22/95 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS TAS <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />1. A site inspection was made in response to a recent inquiry from the Colorado Department <br />of Health, Hazardous Materials & Waste Management Division and local citizens regarding <br />proposed importation of waste concrete and asphalt to the T.H.E. Aggregate Source Canon City <br />Quarry. A discussion was held with Mr. Hellman of T.H.E. <br />2. Mr. Hellman confirmed that T.H.E. had recently been granted approval from the City <br />Council of Canon City to process and sell waste concrete and recycled asphalt at the Canon <br />City Quarry. T.H.E. projects up to 400 Tone/Year of material will be imported to the site <br />and sold ae ie, ie: without any further processing. Mr. Hellman further stated that T.H.E. <br />plane to use the waste concrete as a source of riprap during construction o1` drainage ditches <br />and pond spillways. The Division's position on this issue ie that T.H.E. can stockpile and <br />sell waste concrete and recycled asphalt at the quarry as long ae the material is saleable <br />in the form that it is received and will not be used for backfilling purpoEiee. As a result, <br />T.H.E. need only submit an application for a technical revision epecifyi~~g that they will <br />receive and stockpile these specific materials for sale as received. <br />If, however, T.H.E. plane on processing the waste concrete or recycled aspf~alt at the quarry <br />prior to sale, then the Division will consider the imported material to be non-saleable. <br />T.H.E. will then be required to make provisions in the reclamation plan and reclamation coat <br />for backfilling the material. Further, if T.H.E. intends on processing the material at the <br />quarry prior to Bale, then T.H.E. will be required to demonstrate compliance with Rule <br />3.1.5(9) prior to importation. Please see attached copy of Rule 3.1.5(9). <br />3. The only change noted at the site from the previous inspection of November 9, 1995 was <br />that T.H.E. had installed a riprap spillway in the lower sediment pond along the haul road. <br />4. I indicated to Mr. Hellman that the Division had not received any revision applications <br />from T.H.E, since the November 16, 1995 Formal Public Hearing in Denver. I'. was at that time <br />that the Colorado Mine Land Reclamation Board granted a conditional approval to T.H.E. for <br />disturbance of an additional 35 acres. The conditional approval specified submittal of <br />several technical revision applications within 45 days. The deadline for submittal of the <br />revision applications is January 12, 1996. I urged Mr. Hellman to ensure ttie timely submital <br />of the revision applications as failure by T.H.E. to comply with the conditions of the <br />November 28, 1995 Board Order will cause the permit amendment to be void. We suggest that <br />if T.H.E. is not able to meet the conditions or timeframea specified in the November 28, 1995 <br />Board Order that they contact the Division as soon as possible. <br />5. There was no disturbance noted in the new amendment area. The h~oundariee of the <br />amendment area were not checked; however, the Division advises T.H.E. to mark the boundaries <br />of the amendment area prior to any disturbance in order to remain in compliance with Rule <br />3.1.12. Also, the November 28, 1995 Board Order requires T.H.E. to ~:omplete specific <br />requirements for blasting/offeite impacts and for stormwater management prior to any <br />disturbance in the amendment area. <br />6. A copy of recent correspondance from local residents to the Air 1?ollution Control <br />Division, dated December 26, 1995, indicates that T.H.E. may be in violation of their air <br />emissions permit. The Colorado Mine Land Reclamation Board ruled on November 28, 1995 that <br />the Division of Minerals & Geology does not have any jurisdiction over thiE~ issue. However, <br />a copy of the letter ie attached for your review. <br />I & E Contact Addreae <br />NAME Mr. Don Hellman <br />OPERATOR Tezak Heavv Ecuioment Co., Inc. <br />STREET 904 Hwv 115 <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP Penrose, CO 81240 <br />cc: Jim Stevens, 11MG <br />^ CE <br />^ BL <br />^ FS <br />^ HW <br />^ HMWMD (CH) <br />
