The 32 Road Pit is located at 32 and C 1/2 Roads in Grand Junction, Colorado. Alan <br />Parkerson as representative for Parkerson Construction accompanied the inspectors on site. <br />The 32 Road Gravel Pit is an active 112c permitted site. Several stockpiles of aggregates are located within the <br />central part of the pit. Also noted was a large pile of landscape boulders imported from one of Parkerson's other <br />permitted sites. Excavation continues towards the east in the area added in Amendment AM-Ol. The inspector <br />noted dust control included sprinklers and a paved access road. At the time of the inspection, no excavation was <br />observed so the effectiveness of the dust control measures could not be assessed. Power poles noted in the <br />amendment process for relocation have been moved to their new areas. The general Mine Plan appears to be being <br />followed as approved. <br />The mine identification sign and affected azea boundary markers aze in place and incompliance with Rule 3.1.12. <br />Reclamation efforts to date are centered on a pasture area that has been released. Visual berms and slopes in this <br />azea must remain un-reclaimed until the end of the mine life. Slopes along the south edge of the pit aze stable. <br />Some tamarisk is noted along the pit edge. The operator should consider control measures to ensure that the <br />infestation does not affect other areas of the pit. The infestation is small in nature and not considered an issue at this <br />fime. Guidelines on the treatment pazameters for tamarisk will be coming out soon to assist operators and <br />inspectors. New and immature growth will most likely be the biggest focus so early treatment is advisable. <br />No stormwater, erosion or off site issues were noted at this time. <br />The reclamation bond was recalculated in May of 2002 with the approval of AM-Ol. Current conditions do not <br />warrant a recalculation at this time. <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to Russ Means at the Division of Minerals and Geology, Grand Junction <br />Field Office, 101 South 3rd Street, Room 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, phone no. 970-241-1117. <br />I & E Contact Address cc: <br />^ CE <br />NAME: Alan Parkerson ^ BL <br />OPERATOR: Parkerson Construction ^ FS <br />STREET: 710 S. 15~h Street ^ HW <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP: Grand Junction.
