MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: M-1 aRn-2aa <br />INSPECTION DATE: a-la-nn INSPECTORS INITIALS: ___Bl~- <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />The Division conducted a partial financial warranty release inspection of the site on 9-14-00.Operator was <br />contacted and was in the area but was unable to attend. However, the landowner Mr. Louis Chantala was <br />on site and had a brief discussion about the release request. The site is 640 acres sand and gravel operation <br />located approximately 5 miles south east of Pueblo Colorado. However, the operator since 1996 has been <br />reporting the acreage to be 202 acres. Our records indicate, in 1992, because of a Board Order, the site <br />was amended to increase the acreage from 202 acres to 640 acres. There is nothing in our record that <br />indicates the release of 458 acres. On ]uly 21, 2000, the operator submitted a partial financial warranty <br />release for 160 acres, which would leave 42 acres if the permitted acreage were 202 acres. The area <br />requested for release was driven and inspected and found to be inadequately vegetated and the request for <br />release is denied at this time. The operator in the release request had attached the inspection request of <br />10-14-99. In that report, the Division had stated that the site had been reclaimed and no major signs of <br />erosion features noted, but it did not say it was adequately vegetated and ready for release. Even the <br />pictures supplied with the release request show the area to be poorly vegetated. The original permit <br />application states, the pit floor will have original overburden redistributed on it then seeded with native <br />seeds. Please consult your local soil conservation district to find out the appropriate native seed mixes for <br />the site. <br />Since there appears to some confusion as to the actual permit acreage, the Division requests the operator <br />to survey the area and provide the appropriate permit acreage map by i1-20-00. <br />I & E Contat Address <br />NAME: Eric Reckentine <br />OPERATOR: Lafarge Corgi <br />STREET: 1590 W.12T" AVE. <br />CITY/SPATE/ZIP: Denver,CO.R0204 <br />James Stevens <br />cc: ^ CE <br />^ BL <br />^ FS <br />^ HW <br />^ HMWMD (CH) <br />^ SE <br />^ WQCD (CH) <br />^ OTHER <br />(`er--i'~'~eol z ~~ X33 X11( <br />
