(Page 2) MINE ID# OR PROSPECTING ID# M-1980-131 INSPECTION DATE 08/04j04 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS GRS This was a general monitoring inspection in response to Lafarge's notification to the DMG that they had completed the work on the inlet and outlet structures approved by Technical Revision 001, approved on February 9, 2004. The permit area is current being mined by Elam Construction, Inc., under an agreement with Lafarge. Although there is little excavation taking place, there are several dozen stockpiles of materials located on the site. These materials are being processed and removed from the site. The. area of the inlet and outlet structures is to the south and east of the active mining and processing sites. The structures are located on a large mined out pit which is mined out and reclaimed. The reclaimed pit area is well graded and sloped and has a good cover of mature grasses and woody plants on the slopes and adjacent banks. Because of a high water condition during the spring of 2003, flood water had entered the pit from the Yampa River and then cut an exit channel where it left the pit. The operator has constructed inlet and outlet structures to prevent any further damage to the pit walls or adjacent property. The structures were installed with an underlying filter cloth and durable rock rip rap. The work appears to have been well done and adequate to satisfy the concerns of the DMG. A Permit ID sign was posted at the site, because of the location it was a little difficult to see from the entrance road, the permittee's representative stated that he would have the sign moved to a more visible location. The permit boundaries can be identified by the fences located adjacent to the site. No problems were noted during the inspection. 2 & E Contact Addreea NAME Mr. John Rozelle OPERATOR STREET Lafarge West,IRC. j' CE r BL r HW j' FS j' BMWMD (CH) j' SE r w4cn (cx) 1400 W. 64~h Avenue CITY/STATE/ZIP Denver, CO 80221
