<br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID # M-81-277 <br />INSPECTI"JN DATE 06/28/99 <br />(Page 2) <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS ESC <br />This was a pre-operation inspection of the Beech Hill Quarries conducted by Erica Crosby of <br />the Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology. Mike Sherman of the Division of Wildlife (DOW) <br />accompanied the inspection. Mike Loukonen of Loukonen Brothers was also present. The 112- <br />conversion application was deemed complete for filing on May 14, 1999. The Division's <br />decision due date is scheduled for August 12, 1999. Site conditions were clear and warm. <br />Ground conditions were dry. <br />The seven (7) quarries proposed by the applicant were inspected. Each of the quarries is <br />currently being mined under the 110 application. The permit area is 190 acres, but the <br />disturbance for each quarry will be enlarged under the 112 permit from 2.5 to 5 acres. <br />Disturbances will cover the quarry area, staging areas, topsoil piles and waste rock piles. <br />The applicant will also need to include any roads currently used for the mining operation. <br />Expansion of the quarries will disturb additional acreage dominated by Ponderosa Pine trees. <br />The DOW did not find any evidence of raptors nesting directly on the proposed mine site. <br />The operator stated that the road adjacent to the Kupio Pit would be mined through and <br />relocated. The operator will need to address this issue in the permit application. A <br />discussion of this issue is included in the DMG 7/7/99 adequacy review letter. <br />I & E Contact Address <br /> ^ CE <br />NAME Mike Loukonen ^ BL <br />OPERATOR Loukonen Brothers ^ FS <br />STREET 12993 N.
