<br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID # M-83-213 <br />INSPECTION DATE 10/20/99 <br />(Page 2) <br /> <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS TAS <br />1. A site inspection was made of the Lehr Gravel Pit as part of the Division's 4-year <br />inspection program. Present during the inspection was Mr. Greg Nelson of the Weld County <br />Public Works Department. <br />2. The Lehr Pit is permitted for 36.45 acres. The pit will be reclaimed to prairie <br />grassland. Disturbed slopes will be regraded to a configuration of 4:1 or less. The Lehr <br />Pit is a "dry" pit with no surface water or groundwater features. <br />3. Active mining was noted during the inspection. The operator has completed mining for 2/3 <br />of the permitted acreage. Future mining will continue to the west in the western 1/3 of the <br />permit area. The operator has done an exemplary job of contemporaneous reclamation by <br />reducing pit highwalls and limiting the acreage of maximum disturbance. The eastern 1/3 of <br />the permit area has been graded, topsoiled, and seeded. The central 1/3 of the permit area <br />contains product stockpiles and a processing area. <br />4. Topsoil has been salvaged and stockpiled as specified in the mine plan. Mr. Nelson <br />indicated that topsoil stockpiled for longer than 12 months would be stabilied via cover crop <br />or approved reclamation seed mix. <br />5. An entrance sign and permit area markers were posted as required by Rule 3.1.12. <br />6. Overall, the appearance of the Lehr pit was very clean and well organized. No problems <br />or concerns were noted. <br />I & E Contact Address <br /> ^ CE <br />NAME Mr. Grea Nelson ^ BL <br />OPERATOR Weld County Public Works ^ FS <br />STREET P.O.
