~+fPage 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID # M- 1979-210 <br />INSPECTION DATE 09/16/03 <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS GRS <br />This was an inspection of the Vancil Pit conducted by Gregg Squire of the Division of <br />Minerals and Geology. The operator was represented by Dan Royal, the Morgan County Road <br />Supervisor. Weather conditions on site were clear and warm. A permit sign is posted at the <br />entrance to the pit, but the lettering is badly faded and should be repainted or replaced. <br />This is a large pit, but the boundaries are well marked with metal "T" stakes. <br />The 112c Mining and Reclamation Permit was issued to mine approximately 68.7 acres. The <br />operator is currently mining and has stripped a large stockpile of topsoil, which has been <br />stored on the west side of the pit. <br />Approximately 100 yards of the cut on the south side of the pit has been regraded to an <br />acceptable reclaimed slope. It was noted that most of the vegetation on this slope was cheat <br />grass, it was suggested that this slope could be reseeded late this fall, prior to the winter <br />freeze. No major problems were identified during the inspection, overall this appears to be <br />a well run operation. <br />I & 8 Contact Address <br />NAME Dan Royal-Road Supervisor <br />OPERATOR Morgan County <br />STREET 17303 County Road S <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP Fort Morgan, CO. 80701 <br />j' CE <br />I' BL <br />j' FS <br />r ~ <br />j' HMWMD I~ SE (CH) <br />j' WQCD (CH) <br />Cc: Carl Mount; DMG Via a-mail <br />
