(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID # M-1992-007 <br />INSPECTION DATE 07/1412006 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS DEG <br />This routine monitoring inspection of Permit Number M-1992-007 (Tuttle Pit #1) was conducted by Deb E. G6nima of the DMG. <br />Moffat County representative Marvin Moore was present during this inspection. The pit is located approximately 2 miles west of <br />Elk Springs on County Road 14, and currently consists of approximately 20 acres where approximately 10 acres have been <br />disturbed. <br />Mine entrance signs and permit boundary markers are all in place, and topsoil stockpiles are all well-marked. All activities and <br />completed work at the time of inspection appeared to follow the guidelines and regulations set forth by the state and the mining <br />and reclamation plans for the pit, and no problems are noted for this site. The site is stable and no disturbance was observed <br />outside of the approved permit boundaries. For future reference, this site is correctly positioned in the DMG online GIS. <br />The large material stockpile is situated near the northeastern portion of the site (see photo 1). The majority of the site is still <br />active, and no reclamation has begun. The mined area is in the shape of shill-side cut and is traveling northeast to southwest <br />across the site (see photo 2). <br />Well-marked topsoil stockpiles are located along the northeastern permit boundary (see photo 3). At the time of this inspection <br />there was no equipment on site. The majority of the undisturbed area lies at the south and southwestern portion of the site. The <br />landowner has requested that the operator leave the harvested pinon-juniper at the eastern portion of the site for firewood (see <br />photo 4). The operator must submit written verification of this agreement between the landowner and the operator to the <br />Division. <br />A storm water runoff control program was implemented a few years back and seems to have been successful in its use of <br />diversion structures, sediment traps, and small ponding areas along the eastern portion of the site. There appears to be no <br />offsite erosion, and no long-term (greater than 72 hours) water retention was observed. <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to Deb E.
