Present during the inspection was Mr. Jerry Johnston, the operator. 1) Site is a small 7 acres sand and gravel operation located in between Woodland Park and Divide Colorado along the west side of Highway 24. 2) Site was not active at the time of the inspection, however recent mining activity along the South west side of the permit was noted. According to the annual report, approximately 200 yards of material was removed from site in 2006. 3) There was some significant water that was ponded along the same area. Mr. Johnston, who owns a lot of acres in the area stated that he has water rights both in Trout Creek & Blue creek, that will compensate for the evaporative loss from the pond. He was informed with out the appropriate water rights, operator's are only allowed to store water for 72 hours from a single event. a) There were some mining related and other equipment stored along the North side of the permit area. 5) Mr. Johnston stated that he plans to amend his permit to increase the permit area by 2.9 acres for a total of 9.9 acres. He also stated that the entire area will be re- surveyed and a new map will be provided at that time. That being the case, the current warranty in the amount of $7,000.00 for the approximate 3 acres disturbance appears to be adequate. 6) All the surface water drainage appears to be captured with in the affected area. No major erosion features were noted. 7) The entire permit area is fenced, permit sign properly posted.
