Stanley Jones was present during the inspection. <br />An 110c Mining and Reclamation Permit was issued to Colorado Alabaster Supply on August <br />28, 1999 for a total permit area of 2 acres. The site is located 25 miles northwest of <br />Fort Collins in Larimer County, Colorado. The Division holds a financial warranty in the <br />amount of $1,500.00. <br />A mine identification sign was posted at the entrance to the site. No mining was taking <br />place during the inspection. According to Stanley Jones, the area is mined only a few <br />days out of the year. A front end loader is used to remove the material and it is hauled <br />into town. Five different layers of alabaster are present. The layers range from 10 <br />inches to 4-5 feet. Moat of the material is underground where it is protected from wind <br />and water erosion. <br />The site contains a small area of disturbance leas than 1 acre in size. A portion of the <br />alabaster outcrops, but the remainder is underground. Any alabaster that is left out to <br />weather is unstable for sculpture because of the cracking and chalking of the stone. Some <br />topsoil has been salvaged for reclamation <br />No problems were noted during this inspection. <br />I & 8 Contact Address <br /> ^ CE <br />NAME Mr. Stanley Jones ^ BL <br />OPERATOR Colorado Alabaster Supply ^ FS <br />STREET 1507 N.
