(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID # M-2006-081 <br />INSPECTION DATE 03/01/2007 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS DEG <br />This pre-operational inspection of Permit Number M-2006-081 (Big "G"Gravel Pit), conducted by Deb E. G6nima of the DRMS, <br />was prompted by a request from the operator for approval of a new 112(c) permit. Owner and operator Daniel Gaudreault and <br />consultant Jae Gagliano were present during this inspection. <br />The notice sign was posted and proposed permit boundaries were clearly marked. Photos documenting historical mining <br />activity are included with this report for posterity (see photo 4). In addition, photos were taken to document the state of natural <br />vegetation at this site. The majority of the site consisted of 50 to 65% vegetative cover at a maximum (see photos 5-6). The site <br />is currently stable, and there has been no proposed long-term (greater than 72 hours) water retention for this site. As a matter <br />of record, this inspector was told that no trees (mainly cottonwoods that line the northern extent of the proposed permit <br />boundary) would be removed as an impact ofmining-related activities. <br />The following concern of the Superintendent of the High Line Canal Company was addressed during this inspection, as well. <br />With regard to mining in proximity to the canal, it is the Division's understanding that extraction activity will be no closer than <br />approximately 25 feet from the canal, and that a backhoe excavator will be used to drag back material (from north to south) <br />from the canal area to preclude any loose material from rolling into the canal. <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to Deb E. GOnima at the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br />Denver Office, 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, Colorado 80203, phone number 303-866-4179. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME <br />OPERATOR <br />STREET <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP <br />Mr. Daniel Gaudreault <br />DBA Bia "G" Gravel Pit <br />P.O.
