The site is located approximately 10 miles northeast of Campo, Colorado. The pit <br />will be situated on the south side of the South Fork of the Cimarron River. The river is a dry ephemeral wash in <br />this area and the area where the pit is located slopes gently from south to the north and slightly west where it <br />sits just above the active channel of the wash. The permit area is located within a native prairie pasture <br />consisting primarily of blue grams and buffalo grasses. <br />There are no structures of concern near the permit area. There are livestock fences around the pasture which <br />generally serve as the permit boundary markers on the south and west side of the area and will remain in place <br />throughout the life of the operation. There appears to be ample topsoil available for reclamation with the <br />permit application indicating 6-12 inches to be replaced. The site visit confirmed this estimate. The mining plan <br />does not traverse any water courses and overland drainage should not be a problem. However, as mining <br />progresses, overland flow into the pit from the south should be monitored. If erosion problems occur as a result <br />of this flow, a diversion berm may need to be installed along the south perimeter of the pit to safely divert this <br />overland flow around the pit and into the drainage. <br />This concluded the inspection and no concerns were identified that would hold up approval of this application. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: Bill Wriaht <br />OPERATOR: Baca Coupjy <br />STREET: 741 Main StraPt <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP: S~ringfiPl C'n Rln7~ <br />cc: I' CE <br />I' BL <br />I' FS <br />t HW <br />I' HMWMD (CH) <br />t SE <br />I' WQCD (CH) <br />I' OTHER <br />
