The <br />site is located just south of the town of Florence, Colorado. The pit is situated on an old remnant gravel terrace ridge that is <br />typical to this area. <br />This site consists of two side-by-side 110 permits that were merged into one when one operator sold their property to the other <br />permittee. During this conversion process, the operator also increased the overall area of the permit up to a grand total of <br />77.44 acres which is roughly divided into 2 parcels of approximately 35 acres each. The site is bonded for a maximum of 35 <br />disturbed acres at any given time and the total disturbance will be approximately 50 acres. The original south 110 permit arez <br />has pretty much been mined out at this point and the primary production area is the "north" pit. <br />There are a couple of inconsistencies in the permit application that the operator may want to review. Under the mining plan it <br />states that there will be a 25 foot setback from all permit boundaries, however, the operator seemed to be under the <br />impression that he could not mine within 500 feet of the north boundary. There is a 500 foot setback, but it is only for the <br />power lines that cross the southwest corner of the permit area, which is well away from any proposed mining activity. <br />According to the permit application, the north property can be mined to within 25 feet of the north boundary and will be <br />sloped at 3H:1 V from there back down to the pit floor. The west boundary will also be back-sloped in the same manner. <br />The post-mining land use is for industrial and as a result, very little topsoil is being salvaged for use during reclamation. <br />However, the sloped areas along the north and west sides that will remain aher mining is completed will need to be topsoiled <br />and vegetated. Therefore, enough topsoil to complete this activity needs to be stockpiled by the operator. <br />The site was properly identified and the permit boundaries were clearly marked. No problems were observed and this <br />concluded the inspection. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: Del Rodarmel <br />OPERATOK: Florence Sand and Gravel <br />STREET: 799 5'h Street <br />CITY/STATE2IP: Penrose.
