C~ <br />(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: M-85-029 <br />INSPECTION DATE: 4/20/00 <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />C~ <br />INSPECTOR'S Ir11TIALS: AIW <br />This inspection was conducted at the request of the operator to review apre-law area within the per fitted area that is being <br />slated for a financial warranty release. The Alma Placer is located just east of the town of Alma, Corrado on an old alluvial <br />terrace of the North Fork of the South Platte River. <br />The present day Alma Placer Mine was permitted in 1985. However, mining has historically occurr d all around the town of <br />Alma including many portions of the current permitted area for the placer. The mine was permitted n such a way as to <br />include affected area sections within the permit area that would be mined in a particular sequences as to maintain a lower <br />overall financial warranty cost. One particular area of the permit area was purposely left out of the ffected area in order to <br />avoid the reclamation liability associated with it since it was pre-law mined and basically consisted f a placer waste pile or a <br />large unsorted gravel pile. The operator is now interested in deleting this approximately 10 acre par el from the permitted <br />area and re-permitting it as a separate 110 gravel permit. Therefore, this inspection was conducted t confirm that no <br />additional disturbance, outside of the pre-law disturbance, has occurred during the present day oper tion of the mine. Based <br />on this inspection, it does not appear that any mining activities related to the present day operation f the Alma Placer have <br />occurred within this area. As a result, if the operator submits a request for a full financial warranty r lease with a map clearly <br />delineating the section of the permit area in question, this portion of the permit area could be releas d without further <br />inspection. This submittal must be received by our office within 90 days of this inspection. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: Dennis Ducommun <br />OPERATOR: Reclamation Resources <br />STREET: P.O Box 848 <br />CITY/STATE2IP: Fraser, Colorado 80442 <br />cc ^ CE <br />^ BL <br />^ FS <br />^ HW <br />^ HMWMD (CH) <br /> ^ SE <br /> ^ WQCD (CH) <br /> ^ OTHER <br />
