Joe Phillips was present during the inspection. Weather <br />conditions on site were clear and warm. Ground conditions were dry. The Division last <br />inspected the site in 1993. <br />The site is approximately 2 34 miles north from Lyons, Colorado southwest of Noland Road. The <br />site is divided into two separate quarries for a total permit area of 3.0 acres. A permit <br />I.D. sign was posted at the entrance to the lower quarry. The lower quarry is roughly 1.9 <br />acres in size. Permit boundary markers were noted, and are in good repair. <br />Two workers during the inspection were actively mining the lower quarry. The highwall is <br />right up to the west permit boundary. The highwall height is estimated between 25 to 30 <br />feet. Reclamation has been done on site, mainly using old rock piles to fill in holes and <br />gullies. The operator would like to enlarge the quarry towards the west. The operator will <br />need to amendment the existing 110-permit in order to increase the permit and affected area <br />beyond the approved 3.0 acres. Under a 110 Construction Materials Permit, the operator may <br />permit and mine up to 9.9 acres in size. Anything larger than 9.9 acres will require a 112 <br />permit. A copy of the relevant rules for amending a 110-permit is enclosed. <br />The upper quarry is in the shape of a triangle and is roughly 1.1 acres in size. Mining was <br />not taking place in the upper quarry during the time of the inspection. The rock mined in <br />this area is much smaller than in the lower quarry, and is used for patios. Mining follows <br />the natural contour of the rock, and little to no highwall exists. <br />I & E Contact Address cc <br />NAME Joe Phillips <br />OPERATOR Phillips Stone Company <br />STREET 7650 Ute Hwv <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP Longmont, CO 80503 <br />Carl Mount, DMG <br />^ CE <br />^ BL <br />^ FS <br />^ HW <br />^ HMWMD (CH) <br />^ SE <br />
