__ i _ _ <br />(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: _ M-1aRi-naa <br />INSPECTION DATE: i-~a-ni <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: _~_ <br />The Division conducted a monitoring inspection of the site as part of the fiscal year 2000-2001 site <br />inspection plan. The site is a large 112 operation of 87 acres located approximately 6 miles South East of <br />Colorado Springs. The site was initially permitted as a 110 permit and converted into a 112 in 1990. The <br />present permit area covers approximately 92 acres. However, the five acres were pre- law disturbed areas, <br />which the operator did not want covered in the affected acreage, hence the affected acreage reflects what <br />the operator is liable for reclamation. Even though it is a bit confusing, since the MLRB approved the permit <br />as such, the Division will not make issue of it at this time. The maximum disturbance, which includes major, <br />moderate and minor disturbances, is 25 acres. Present during the inspection was Mr. Bob Solberg operator <br />and landowner. The site was active at the time of the inspection. Permit sign and boundary markers were <br />properly displayed. Afront-end loader and a small loader were working the active mining area at the time <br />of the inspection. Topsoil piles were properly stockpiled and protected, no problem noted. The reclaimed <br />slopes appeared stable with the exception of a small portion of the West Side slopes showing signs of <br />erosion, which the operator stated that it would be addressed sometime in spring. The entire permit area <br />was driven and inspected, no major problem noted. The existing warranty of #35,000 was found to be <br />adequate at this time. However, if the present approved affected acreage is changed, operator has to notify <br />the Division so the warranty can be raised appropriately. Mr Solberg wanted to know how to substitute the <br />existing warranty with another one because the company has been converted into a new LLC. He was <br />informed that it might be necessary to have the new company succeed the operation and submit the <br />warranty under the new company name. He was informed to contact Suzi Ericksen of our Division so she <br />can send him the appropriate forms. He agreed to do, as advised, once they are ready to submit the new <br />warranty. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: BOB SOLBERG <br />OPERATOR: SOLBERG SOLBERG & FRENCH <br />STREET: 13335 STO[KMAN CT. <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP: PEYTONrf_O Rnt3~i <br />JAMES STEVENS <br />cc: ^ CE <br />^ BL <br />^ FS <br />^ HW <br />^ HMWMD (CH) <br />^ SE <br />^ WQCD (CH) <br />^ OTHER <br />
