The site was mow covered but inspectable. <br />All signs were in place and the affected area bowdary is delineated entirely by dikes and ditches <br />Grading of the disturbed areas is taking place as gravel is removed. Reclamation of the pond embankments for the phase I and II portions of the operation <br />is nearly complete. Topsoil was placed on the embankments, but an early mowstorm prevented seeding. The operator indicated that seeding would take place <br />imediately after mow eelt next spring. Phase IV of the operation has not yet begw but will probably take place nett field season. <br />there are no signs of instability or erosion that can be detected through the 4' -n' mow cover. <br />The operator should be comcended for the manner in which his operation is rw and the extensive forethou~t involved in the penitting and reclamation <br />plan for the site. <br />Changes to the Mined Land Reclamation Act, due to the passage of Senate Bi1191-111 in 1991, included the removal of the 55000.00 brnd cap for 11012) type <br />penits. All mine sites in Colorado are now required to be bonded for the actual cost of reclamation if, in the case of permit revocation and bond <br />forfeiture, the state were to put the reclamation work out for competitive bid. Review and recalculation of the required bond far reclamation of this <br />operation will take Dlace over the nett few eonths. A detailed estivate of the recalculated cost., based on the approved mining and reclamation Dlans and <br />conditions observed during the inspection, will be forthcoeing. <br />I 6 E Contact Address <br />NAIf <br />OPERATOR <br />STREET <br />crry/sraTE/tIP <br />Canyon Sand and Gravel <br />Robert Scott <br />P.O.
