Caleb Liesveld of Colorado Red Rose Corporation was <br />present during the inspection. Weather conditions on site were snowing. <br />The mine site is located 7 miles northwest of Lyons in Larimer County, Colorado. The <br />operation is a granite quarry and is permitted for a total of 1 acre. The Division holds a <br />bond in the amount of $500.00 in the form of a Certificate of Deposit. <br />A mine identification sign was posted at the entrance to the site. The quarry has been in <br />place prior to 1977 and is used to product 10 to 20 ton granite blocks. The blocks are sold <br />as monuments. Blocks are removed using high-pressure water to reduce fracturing of the <br />granite. Three extraction rooms were noted along the mining face. The west room is the <br />smallest with the approximate size of 14' high, 50' wide and 20 feet deep. The medium room <br />is approximately 14' high, 50' wide and 30' deep. The largest room is approximately 14' <br />high, 50' wide and 80' to 90• deep. The rooms exist in competent granite that is very <br />stable. Currently mining consists of lowering the elevation of the existing mine bench. The <br />operator should be reminded that the permit area is 1 acre in size. Any increase in <br />disturbed acreage will require an amendment to the permit. Amendment application forms may <br />The poatmining land use is industrial. Reclamation of the quarry will consist of leaving the <br />bench area for a future home site. The existing mine bench is nearly level and little <br />grading would be required. No seeding is proposed due to the construction of the level bench <br />made exclusively of granite. <br />I & E Contact Address <br /> ^ CE <br />NAME Daniel Liesveld ^ BL <br />OPERATOR Colorado Red Rose Corp. ^ FS <br />STREET 148 Cheyenne Court ^ HW <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP Lyons, CO 80540 ^ HMWMD (CH) <br /> ^ SE <br /> ^ WQCD (CH) <br />Cc: Carl Mount; DMG <br />
