Four photos accompanythis report. <br />The Thomas Pit is approved for extraction of alluvial sand and gravel from a side channel along the west <br />side of the Animas River and from a pit area located adjacent to the west bank of the river channel. The <br />permit is also approved for material processing to include washing, screening, crushing and concrete <br />production. The Thomas Pit is approved for 34.81 acres affected area, DMG holds $26,295 financial <br />warranty. <br />Mining activities appeared active at the pond excavation, located at the southern end of the permit area. <br />The pond excavation was approved through AM-01. Site appeared stable, evidence of slumping, slope <br />failure or excessive erosion to the excavation areas or the processing yard was not observed. <br />On October 29, 2004, DMG estimated the cost of reclamation at $25,113. The nature and extent of <br />disturbance observed in the air photos are included in the reclamation tasks of DMG's 2004 cost <br />estimation. Therefore, DMG's 2004 cost estimation is current and the existing $26,295 financial warranty <br />is sufficient to ensure completion of reclamation. <br />No problems or possible violations were observed. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME <br />OPERATOR <br />STREET <br />CITY/STATEIZIP <br />Marcia Talvitie <br />Four Corners Materials <br />P.O.
