<br />(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: M-i 077-asta <br />INSPECTION DATE: Angnct 9a~ ~nm <br /> <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: _~Dq~ <br />This inspection was conducted as apre-operation inspection as part of the conversion of the mining permit from a 1.7 <br />acre 110 permit to a 160 acre 112c permit. Mr. Troy Crane, County Commissioner, accompanied Mr. Tony Waldron and <br />me (AI Amundson) on the inspection. The pit is being mined below grade at a slope of between 3h and 4h to lv and is <br />presently active. Material is being mined and screened, topsoil has been saved and the operation looks good. <br />The sign was observed to be adequate, and the boundaries, while not completely marked were inspected with regard to <br />man-made structures within 200 feet of the boundaries. None were noted. <br />The operator discussed the option of mining down to rock, estimated to be approximately 40 to 60 feet deep. We <br />suggested that if that is the case, the county should either modify the application or submit a technical revision showing <br />the depth "down to rock, as much as 100feet below grade". The pit would be excavated with slopes at 3:1 or 4:1 with a <br />bench in the middle of the slope to break the grade and interrupt the water flow in the event of a large precipitation <br />event. <br />The south slope and the east slope of the pit have been sloped and re-vegetated and both appear to be growing well. <br />The operation appears that it will be in compliance once the permit conversion is completed. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: Mr. Trov Crane <br />OPERATOR: Baca County <br />STREET: 741 Main Street <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP: Springf'iel Colorado R107'i <br />cc: Fir.
