(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: M-1979-155 <br />INSPECTION DATE: inii9/nn INSPECTORS INITIALS: C'I K <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />The following observations were made during a routine made of this 9.3 acre 110 site. <br />1) No sign is posted at the entrance to the site. The boundaries do not appear to <br />have been marked, unless it is with the natural road boundaries and physical <br />limits of the excavation. These must be remedied within 30 days. (P81) <br />2) Adequate topsoil to reclaim the excavated portion of the site appears to have been <br />stockpiled. The current area of disturbance in the actively worked portion of the <br />site appears to be approximately 2 acres, well under the 10 acres allowed in the <br />Mining Plan. <br />3) The site was measured with a measuring wheel, and the smaller, main excavation was <br />found to be 150'x 175' across. A second excavation bench above and to the west of <br />this one was not measured, due to the rough terrain, but appeared to be twice the <br />size of the main area. A stockpile of volcanic rock south of the excavation <br />appeared to be half the size of the main excavation area (the same width, but only <br />half the length). Stockpiles of topsoil lined the east and west sides of the <br />excavation, at a height of 6'. <br />4) The site is not being actively worked at this time. No personnel or equipment were <br />on the site at the time of the inspection. The site is now being used as a dumping <br />ground for trash and garbage such as old mattresses, motors, and various cans and <br />bottles. No exposed groundwater or pooling surface water was present at the time <br />of the inspection. <br />5) The sides of the terrace had slopes of approximately 1H:1V, with the exception of <br />the north side, whose slopes approached highwall. <br />No other problems were noted at the site at this time. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: Weldon Allen <br />OPERATOR: Colorado Dept, of Transportation <br />STREET: 606 South 9th <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP: Grand .lunction.
