{Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID # M-2000-033 <br />INSPECTION DATE 09/19/2006 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS DEG <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This routine monitoring inspection of Permit Number M-2000-033 (Villard Pit #2) was conducted by Deb E. GOnima of the <br />DRMS. Moffat County representative Butch Combs was present during this inspection. The pit is located 18 miles north of <br />Craig, CO on Hwy 13 and 1 mile east on access road, and currently consists of approximately 66 acres where approximately 40 <br />acres have been disturbed. This operation is permitted for activity on both the north and south sides of the access road leading <br />into the area. <br />Mine entrance signs and permit boundary markers are all in place, there are numerous material stockpiles on site, and the <br />topsoil stockpiles are all well-marked. All activities and completed work at the time of inspection appeared to follow the <br />guidelines and regulations set forth by the state and the mining and reclamation plans forthe pit, and no problems are noted for <br />this site. The site is stable and no disturbance was observed outside of the approved permit boundaries. For future reference, <br />this site is correctly positioned in the DRMS online GIS. <br />The storm water runoff control program that was implemented a few years back seems to have been successful in its use of <br />diversion structures, sediment traps, and small ponding areas. There appears to be no offsite erosion, and no long-term <br />(greater than 72 hours) water retention was observed. There was a substantial annual weed population on site. However, as <br />reclamation and reseeding have not yet commenced, this population of weeds is of little concern at this time. <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to Deb E. G6nima at the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety, <br />Denver Office, 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, Colorado 80203, phone number 303-866-4179. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />cc_ <br />^ CE <br />NAME Mr. Marvin Moore ^ BL <br />OPERATOR Moffat County ^ FS <br />STREET 1570 Ranney Street ^ HW <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP Craio.
