Chuck Murphy of ACA Products Inc. was present <br />during the inspection. Weather conditions on site were cool and windy. Ground conditions <br />were dry. <br />The operator of the site, ACA Products, Inc., filed a New 112 Permit Application for the site <br />on December 11, 1998. Filing of the new application was a result of the October 16, 1998 <br />inspection and notice of violation MV-98-048 issued by the Mined Land Reclamation Board on <br />December 15, 1996. The New application would replace file M-B1-303 and increases the permit <br />area from 9.9 acres to 102.4 acres. <br />The mine site is located 6 34 miles southwest of Leadville. Amine sign was posted at the <br />mine entrance, identifying the filing of a new application. The permit boundary will expand <br />to the south and to the west. The permit boundary borders Lake County to the North, the U.S. <br />Department of Interior to the south and west and private property to the east. There are no <br />structures or features within 200 feet of the affected area. The Mt. Elbert Conduit Easement <br />Boundary is to the east of the mine, but beyond 200 feet of the affected area. If mining <br />disturbance is anticipated within 200 feet of the conduit easement, the operator will need <br />to meet the requirements of Rule 6.4.19 prior to any disturbance. <br />To date, the site consists of a working pit area, subsoil piles, topsoil piles and a working <br />area contaihing a crushing and screening facility. The pit is roughly 30 feet deep on the <br />south side. No mining activity was taking place during the inspection. No ground water was <br />noted in the pit, and the operator does not anticipate intersecting groundwater. <br />The application is currently under review, and the Division's decision due date is March 17, <br />1999. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME Chuck Murnhv <br />OPERATOR ACA Products Inc. <br />STREET P.O.
