(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: _-m-ta5n-ron <br />INSPECTION DATE: neremher tR, 7nnt <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: AI p <br />This inspection was conducted in compliance with the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board directive that all <br />mines within the state be inspected once every four years. At the beginning and end of the inspection, this inspector <br />met with Mr. John Cottam, Mine Manager, and during the inspection was accompanied by Mr. Temple IClute. <br />The mine is located in nortwestem Douglas County inclose proximity to both residential and light industrial areas, <br />and is bounded on the east by the Highline Canal. The mine is well signed and it is apparent that they are taking <br />steps to mitigate the effects of truck traffic by good road maintenance, speed limits for the tracks and restriction on <br />the use of compression-release braking. <br />An inspection of the permit boundaries was conducted revealing good boundary control and a small herd of mule <br />deer which occupy undisturbed grassland on the west side of the property. Some concurrent reclamation grading <br />and topsoiling has been performed on the northeast portion of the property adjacent to the Highline Canal. The <br />operator should plan to contact the NRCS (National Resources Conservation Service, Brighton Field Office, USDA <br />Field Center, 57 West Bromley Lane, Brighton, Colorado, 80601) with questions regarding when and how to plant <br />the desired seed mixture. I am enclosing a copy of your amendment from July 17, 1981 and from February 20, 1986 <br />for your reference. <br />A crushing and screening plant was being installed in the pit at the time of this inspection, and piles of recycled <br />asphalt and concrete were on hand for processing. The sides of the pi[ were mostly graded between approximately <br />2.5: I and 3: I by visual observation. <br />Erosion of the slopes does not appear to be a problem, and water does not exit the pit. <br />The fuel storage is well constructed with a concrete secondary containment facility. <br />No problems were noted at the time of the inspection. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: Mr. John Cottam <br />OPERATOR: ARS Sand and Gravel <br />STREET: 5505 W.
