(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ZD # M-1978-192 <br />INSPECTION DATE 08/09/07 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS ESC <br />This was an inspection of the Pit #6 conducted by Erica Crosby of the Division of <br />Reclamation, Mining and Safety. Joe Nelson of Chaffee County was present during the <br />inspection. <br />The Pit #6 is located 3 miles southwest of Buena Vista in Chaffee County Colorado. The <br />permit was issued on January 2, 1979 for a permit area of 8 acres. <br />A sign has been posted and the fences delineate the permit boundary area. <br />Chaffee County requested the inspection in order to determine if the site is adequate for <br />bond release. Reclamation of the site was initiated a number of years ago. The grasses <br />noted on site include Buffalo grass, Needle and Thread, Indian Ricegrass, Wheatgrasa and Sand <br />Dropseed. Small areas located throughout the site were bare of desirable vegetation and are <br />dominated by Russian Thistle and other annual weeds. The operator will need to reseed these <br />area prior to release of the site. <br />The remaining reclamation to be conducted on sites includes the removal of two 55-gallon <br />drums on the west end of the pit and sealing and plugging of the two monitoring wells. <br />I & 8 Contact Addreee <br /> ^ CE <br />NAME Joe Nelson ^ BL <br />OPERATOR Chaffee County Road & Bridge <br />STREET P.O.
