(Page 2) <br /> MINE ID#OR PROSPECTING ID# M-1981-125 <br /> INSPECTION DATE 08/16/2006 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS DEG <br /> OBSERVATIONS <br /> This inspection of Permit Number M-1981-125 was conducted by Deb E.G6nima of the DRMS as part of the state's ongoing <br /> monitoring and inspection protocol. No county representative was present during this inspection. The pit is located 4 miles <br /> south and 7 miles west of Cope, CO and currently consists of approximately 9.9 acres. <br /> The mine entrance identification sign was clearly visible and legible. While the site is currently active, no recent disturbance <br /> was apparent. No material is currently being stockpiled on the permit area. It appeared that all site disturbance was localized <br /> within the approved permit area. <br /> In order to seek resolution to the issue of any possible mining-related activity taking place outside if the approved(and posted) <br /> permit boundaries,this inspector researched the history of this operation and the initial condition of the site,and found that the <br /> original permit noted some level of disturbance at the southwestern portion of the area. Therefore, this inspector finds that, <br /> while there is clear disturbance(see photo 3)outside of the current permit boundaries,this affected area was once part of a <br /> historical mined area occurring prior to the approval of the current permit. Therefore, the operator is not responsible for any <br /> disturbance originating from this area. However, the operator remains responsible for the continued containment of mining <br /> related disturbance (to the north of this area)on site and compliance with all applicable state regulations. <br /> As a final note for future reference, this site is not correctly positioned in the DRMS online GIS, and shall be submitted for <br /> correction by this inspector. <br /> Responses to this inspection report should be directed to Deb E.G6nima at the Division of Reclamation, Mining,and Safety, <br /> Denver Office, 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, Colorado 80203, phone number 303-866-4179. <br /> I & E Contact Address cc: <br /> ❑ CE <br /> NAME Mr. Larry Chamo—Road Foreman ❑ BL <br /> OPERATOR Washington County Road District#3 ❑ FS <br /> STREET P.O.
