(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID # M- <br />INSPECTION DATE <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS GRS <br />This was a pre-operational inspection of the Wattenberg Lakes site, conducted as part of the <br />Division's review of Aggregate Industries` application for a 112c reclamation permit. The <br />inspection was conducted by Gregg Squire of the Division of Minerals and Geology. Connie <br />Davis representing Aggregate Industries and Bill Schenderlein of the Applegate Group were <br />also present. Weather conditions on site were clear and warm. Ground conditions were <br />somewhat wet because of recent precipitation. <br />Prior to the actual inspection of the site the mine plan map was reviewed and the general <br />mine plan was discussed. The site was then toured, the permit boundaries located and the <br />permanent structures on or within 200 feet of any proposed mining disturbances were examined. <br />These structures include oil and gas facilities, homes and other buildings, roads and <br />ditches, including the Huett Pitch, and several power lines. <br />A public notice was posted at the site, another one had been posted but was either blown away <br />or removed by someone. The current land uses consist primarily of grazing and a plant <br />nursery. The site is adjacent to the South Platte River and is utilized by numerous bird <br />species, several prairie dog towns were also noted on the site. <br />General areas of concern, some of which have already been addressed in the application, <br />include stability and set back issues for permanent man made structures, including the <br />ditches, and the potential for ground water impacts due to dewatering of the pits and the <br />installation of the slurry walls. <br />In summation, although there are some areas of concern, it does not appear that there are any <br />issues which would preclude the permitting of the site. <br />I & E Contact Address <br /> r CE <br />NAME Bill Schenderlein r BL <br />OPERATOR Applegate Group, Inc. r FS <br />STREET 1499 W. 120th Avenue, Suite 200 r HW <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP Denver, CO 80234 r HMWMD (CH) <br /> r SE <br /> r WQCD (CH) <br />Cc: Connie Davis, Aggregate Industries - WCR, Inc. <br />
