A <br />• (Page 2) <br />MINE ID rY OR PROSPECTING ID # M-86-033 <br />INSPECTION DATE 6-31-99 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS SSS <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This was a partial inspection of the Hess Pit conducted to verify completion of backfilling of the upper highwall, so a <br />decision can be rendered on the operator's application for a warranty reduction. <br />The upper highwall was completely backfilled to a 3:1 slope and appeared to be stable. No differential settling was noted. <br />The slope was not covered with topsoil. The Division will recommend approval of a bond reduction for the backfilling of <br />the upper highwall. The operator will be receiving a revised reclamation cost estimate, reflecting this change, in the near <br />future. <br />The drums of hazardous material, that were not observed during the last inspection, were still on site. The operator needs <br />to place these drums in an approved spill containment structure or remove them from site. Until these drums are removed <br />from site, costs will be included in the reclamation cost estimate for testing and disposal of them. The contaminated soils <br />around the drums must be picked up and properly disposed of. If the drums are to be stored on-site, the operartor must <br />notify the Division of the contents. <br />1 & E Contact Address <br />NAME Alton Hess <br />OPERATOR Sunnyside Gravel <br />STREET 9983 Highway 550 <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP Durango, CO 81301 <br />cc: Tom Gillis, DMG <br />^ CE <br />^ BL <br />^ FS <br />^ HW <br />^ HMWMD (CH) <br />^ SE <br />^ WOCD ICHI <br />^ OTHER <br />
