(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: nn-tant_teA <br />INSPECTION DATE: ~-t8_-(L4 INSPECTOR=S INITIALS: _~- <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />Completed an inspection of this operation as part of a Mined Land Reclamation Board directive to inspect <br />every mine in the state at least once every four years. The site was last Inspected in May, 1999. <br />This is a 132-acre Regular 112 permit located east of C-470, just off of Alameda Parkway to the south. The sffe is <br />still active. Mining activities are occuning in the western part of the permit. A dozer is cutting into a thick vertical <br />clay layer. Two scrapers are picking up the excavated material and moving it to the southern part of the permit <br />area where ff is being stockpiled. The material is removed when needed. <br />The operator continues to excavate and stockpile topsoil near the west permit boundary. If the material is not <br />replaced w(thin one growing season offer topsoil is no longer being deposited, the stockpile should be <br />protected from wind and rain erosion by vegetoflng with one of the approved grass species. <br />Several product and reject stockpiles are located throughout the central part of the permit area. <br />It appears that nearly all of the permit area has been disturbed. The operator should realize that, currently, only <br />53 acres are allowed to be disturbed at any onetime. Pursuant to TR-Ol, the amount of disturbed area has been <br />increased to 99 acres. However, the Increase in disturbance cannot occur until the Increased bond ($315,000) is <br />submitted and accepted by the Division. <br />A small frozen pond (depth unknown) was observed in the southwestern corner of the permit area. This appears <br />to be snowmelt runoff from upgradient but, since it is not clear whether this Is groundwater or runoff, a copy of <br />this report will be sent to the State Engineer's Office so they are aware of a possible water rights Issue. <br />The financial warranty was just re-calculated so ff will be considered sufficient for final reclamation and will not <br />be re-done at this time. <br />Did not observe any obvious problems during this inspection. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: Mr. Greg Knell <br />OPERATOR: Robinson Brick Co. <br />STREET: 1A4.5 WPCt Dartmouth Avanua <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP: nanvar c~ AnttnasnA <br />Harry Posey (e-mail) <br />cc: t CE <br />State Engineer's r BL <br />Office r FS <br />Room 818 t H`N <br />1313 Sherman St. 1' HMWMD (CH) <br />Denver, CO, r SE <br />80203 I' WOCD (CH) <br />t OTHER <br />
