OBSERVATIONS
This partial inspection was performed by the Division as part of its monitoring of Construction M erials 110 permits. The
operator was contacted about the inspection and a time was arranged to meet at the site. The~perator, named on page
one, arrived onsite at 13:45 and was present throughout the remainder of the inspection.
The operator has been the permittee of this site since January 1999. There were numerous existi g clean up tasks to carry
out at that time, the previous operator having created them and left them. The present operator has been systematically
cleaning up the site of its contaminated soils, drums of hydrocarbons, waste asphalt material, di apidated equipment and
debris. This inspection was to measure the progress of such clean up so that a more represe tative reclamation bond
amount may be estimated.
There is currently a total of 515,000 posted as bond for this site. This figure was felt to be inade uate to perform all final
reclamation, and a bond recalculation was performed and sent to the operator earlier this year. wring the inspection the
operator hand delivered to this inspector a written summary of reclamation that has been perfor ed. Onsite verification
shows that these tasks should now be deleted from the total estimated bond amount. The current ist of reclamation taskss
will be revised to reflect the ones still outstanding, which should be the ones to base the bond a punt on. (Please note,
that tasks remaining on the list, which are to be performed for final reclamation, have no timeframe attached to them. They
simply need to be bonded until completed, whether completion is in 2000 or at the end of minin many years from now.l
The operator asked about converting this permit to a 112 permit. A conversion is possible, but perhaps not until January
2001. According to Rule 1.11.2(1) the operator is to have held the permit for two years befdre a conversion can be
granted. Some clarification may be warranted here, however, since this is not a new permit. If {his rule is intended only
for operators of newly-issued permits, then a conversion may be performed soon. This inspecto~ will request an opinion
from the Denver office and contact the operator.
The operator also requested a copy of the Construction Materials Rule and Regulations, which t is inspector was able to
deliver onsite. An invoice for the 55.00 cost of the document is attached to the operator's cop of this report.
permit ID Sian bears the name of the current operator. There were no problems noted at this tinhe, and no further items
discussed.
