The site is a quarry a 1 12 quarry operation located approximatelyl5mtles South West of Colorado <br />Springs. Present during the inspection were Messieurs Mark Heffner and Bill Carsell. The site was active at the <br />time of the inspection. Area had received a considerable amount of snow two days ago and most of the roads <br />to the active bench areas were covered with approximately 4 to b inches of snow. <br />Active mining is progressing to the west. In anticipation of mining expansion, trees have been removed from <br />the portion of the West and North side. Mr. Carsell explained the mining plan for the foreseeable future. He <br />stated that the operator plans to acquire a shovel, which could limit the height of the high walls to 40 feet, from <br />the current 40 feet. He stated that a very small area, which had a highly weathered material, had some minor <br />slope failures. None were noted at the time of this inspection. <br />Pit slopes measuring approximately six, 60 feet high walls with 20-foot benches were observed along the south <br />side of the active mining area, at the time of the inspection. There was some stockpiled processed material in <br />the pit floor. <br />Drove to the upper benches area and observed the enure operation looking north, north East. A crusher and a <br />couple of screens were noted in the pit floor. <br />Mr. Carsell stated that due to MSHA requirements, the height of his pit wall couldn't exceed 60 feet. Most of the <br />high walls noted did not show signs of slope failure. Permit sign and boundary markers were properly posted. <br />The current financial warranty in the amount of $456,000.00 is more than adequate to handle the reclamation <br />cost of the existing disturbed area. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: MS.
