INSPECTOR'S INITIALS RCO
OBSERVATIONS
This inspection was performed by the Division as part of its monitoring of 110 Construction Material permits. The office
attempted to contact the operator about the inspection but was not successful. The entrance ga~e was open and the site
was accessible, but there was no personnel or activity at the site.
This permit was recently transferred to this operator. The initial bond provided was one on the same amount as posted
by the former operator, 515,000. This office recalculated the bond amount as part of the transf~r, and the new figure of
S27,939 has been communicated to the new operator as the amount now required. That recalcu ated amount was based
on the approved reclamation plan and the amount of observed disturbance at the site during pri r inspections.
Observations made during this inspection include a signficant amount of clean up that has occ rred during this winter.
The asphalt plant has been removed, though some grading and fill is still required. The quonset but at the north end has
been removed, though numerous barrels and buckets of various hydrocarbons still await removal ~n the asphalt pad. The
crusher and generator trailer have been removed from the upper pit.
This inspector made a fairly detailed accounting of the different items still requiring reclamation including the barrels to
remove, asphalt to remove or bury onsite, junk equipment and debris to remove, highwalls to knoc down and other grading
tasks, etc. These will not be listed herein, but will be reflected in a revised reclamation cost a timate. That upcoming
revision will attempt to reflect a more representative figure for the full bond, based now on obse vations from this recent
inspection. The operator should also provide input as to any work that has been performed, in i rder to influence these
figures.
For all questions or responses to this report, please contact this inspector at the following addre~s or phone: 484 Turner
Dr., Bldg. F-101, Durango CO 81301; tel [phone] or fax [phone].
