(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID # M-1978-327 <br />INSPECTION DATE 01/07/02 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS ESC <br />This was a routine inspection of the Kauffman Pit conducted by Erica Crosby of the Colorado <br />Division of Minerals & Geology. Troy Kauffman of Jake Kauffman & Son was present during the <br />inspection. <br />The Kauffman Pit is located approximately 1.5 miles southeast of Loveland in Larimer County, <br />Colorado. The 112 Mining and Reclamation Permit was issued to Jake Kauffman & Son, Inc. on <br />May 14, 1979 for a permit area of 56 acres. The permit was amended in 1989 to increase the <br />permit area to 83 acres. <br />A mine identification sign was posted at the mine entrance. The two pits previously mined <br />were inspected. Mining is complete in this area, and the pits have been reclaimed into <br />groundwater lakes. The open pit area is currently being mined and backfilled with material <br />from on-site. Technical Revision 004 (TR-4) revised the reclamation plan to reclaim the pit <br />with un-marketable sand fines and lime overburden materials. <br />The Division currently holds a reclamation bond in the amount of $279,600.00. The bond was <br />adjusted to this amount as a result of the change in the reclamation plan approved in TR-4. <br />No problems were noted as a result of this inspection. <br />I ~ E Contact Address <br /> r CE <br />NAME Marv Kauffman r BL <br /> <br />OPERATOR Sake Kauffman & Sons Inc. r FS <br />STREET 808 SCR 9E r HW <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP Loveland.
