The operator was <br />contacted about the inspection and was present for it. <br />There has been no illegal mining activity since the operator was observed oneite during the <br />7/6/95 inspection. <br />The operator attempted to locate the corners of the proposed permit area, but the markers <br />were not found. The approximate locations were indicated, and seemed to exclude significant <br />portions of the operator's admitted current disturbance. The operator stated that about one <br />acre of disturbance on the extreme east end and about two acres on the went end were not to <br />be included in the permit area. This was supposedly due to the fact that the owners of those <br />portions of the site did not want further mining to occur. It was pointed ovt to the <br />operator that this was contrary to the requirements of the Board Order, and that the gravel <br />in the small area the operator did want to permit was already mostly mined out. At this <br />point the operator felt that they should simply reclaim this site. The operator was reminded <br />that the entire five-acre site must eventually be reclaimed (with or without mining preceding <br />it) and that the Board moat approve any actions differing from the Board Order, before work <br />commences. This should be discussed at the Board meeting next week. <br />This inspector recommended that the operator begin preparing for the Board hearing and for <br />the actual reclamation by contacting the Natural Resource Conservation Service immediately, <br />and to determine what schedule of its implementation would be feasible to commit to. This <br />would surely be discussed at the April Board meeting. <br />Because there ie an existing Board Order for the violation found at this site, and there has <br />been no further mining, there were no problems observed during this inspection. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME Robert Vaeouez <br />OPERATOR Coet ilia County <br />STREET PO Box 100 <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP San Luie CO 81152 <br />cc: Jim Stevens/DMG <br />^ CE <br />^ HL <br />^ FS <br />^ HW <br />^ HMWMD (CH) <br />^ SE <br />^ WQCD (CH) <br />^ OTHER <br />Victor Devereaux, PC <br />PO Box 40 <br />San Luie CO 81152 <br />
