ORIGINAL-PUBLIC FILE <br />(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: nn-1989-nne <br />INSPECTION DATE: 6/~?/ns INSPECTORCS tNITIALS: ~K- <br />OBSERVATION <br />The Division conducted a monitoring inspection of the site as part of sites <br />to be inspected under the 4-year program. The site is a small 112 in stream <br />mining operation permitted as a 112 in error in a small branch of the <br />Republican River. The total affected acreage was approximately 3 acres and <br />Mr.Isenbert stated that when the site was last inspected he communicated <br />Kit Carson's desire to correct the error and was notified to ask for a <br />release and apply for a 110 permit to replace the 112. The release request <br />was denied due to the small active area, which approximates 3 acres that <br />did not meet the approved reclamation plan. After talking to Mr. Bruce <br />Humphries, Minerals Program Supervisor on 7/5/05, of the County's wishes to <br />correct the error, it was agreed to ask Kit Carson County to submit a <br />conversion application from the current 112 to a 110. As stated earlier the <br />site is in a dry streambed, a small amount of stockpile material was <br />observed along the North East portion of the permit area. The active mining <br />area was stable and no major sign of erosion features were noted, that <br />would not have existed even if mining in the dry stream bed did not take <br />place. No major noxious weed infestation was observed in the 30 plus acres <br />of the undisturbed part of the current permit area. Kit Carson County has a <br />County wide noxious weed control plan that it implements on as need basis. <br />The permit sign and boundary markers were properly posted. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: MS LYN BROWNFIELD <br />OPERATOR: KIT CARSON COUNTY <br />STREET: P(~_RnX1h0 <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP: RIIRI INGTnN, Cnl nRAf)n RORn7-nl /,0 <br />CC: <br />Harry Posey (e-mail) <br />cc: I' CE <br />All overburden/ topsoil <br />T BL <br />r FS <br />I' H W <br />I' HMWMD (CH) <br />I' <br />r SE <br />I' WQCD (CH) <br />I' OTHER <br />
