(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: M-1 Q9~-nom <br />INSPECTION DATE: 1nr0Z/nS INSPECTOR=S INITIALS: ° iw <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This was a normal monitoring inspection conducted by Tony Waldron of DMG along with Jason Frieberger of <br />Baca County. The site is located approximately 1 1 miles north and 2 miles west of Springfield, Colorado. The pit <br />is situated in upland areas immediately adjacent to Sand Creek. The majority of the permit area is on the south <br />side of the creek, however, a small portion is located on the northwest side of The creek. <br />There was a mine identification sign present at the entrance to the mine site and the affected area was clearly <br />delineated. This site was converted from a 1 1 Oc into a 1 12c in 2001. The current mining area is in the southwest <br />corner of the pit and mining is progressing to the east and north. The operator is mining this site in a very orderly <br />manner with topsoil being salvaged in advance of the mining and mining slopes being maintained at <br />approximately 3H:1 V. As mining continues to progress to the east and north, the area will soon be big enough <br />so that contemporaneous reclamation can begin on this site. In this way, topsoil can be removed and <br />replaced on re-graded areas simultaneously, thereby, eliminating the need for long-term storage and allowing <br />portions of the pit to be re-seeded periodically as the topsoil is replaced. <br />No problems were observed and this concluded the inspection. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: Soike Ausmus <br />OPERATOR: Baca County <br />STREET: 741 Mnin Street <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP: STxin9fialri,,,('C~ R1fV3 <br />cc: T CE <br />I' BL <br />r FS <br />I' H W <br />I' HMWMD (CH) <br />T SE <br />t WOCD (CH) <br />I' OTHER <br />
