Present during the inspection was <br />Miss Angela Belantoni the operator's consultant and Mr. Mike Ausuburn, of Pioneer <br />sand, the operator of the site were present. <br />2) Site is a phased 112 operation covering 930 acres with a maximum disturbance of 60 <br />acres at any give time. <br />3) Site was active at the time of the inspection in Phase III of the permit area. A <br />couple of front end loaders, a dozer and screen were noted in the active mining <br />area. Only screening operation is utilized to process the aggregate. <br />4) Large quantities of processed stockpiled material was noted through out the affected <br />area. <br />5) The active high wall approximates 550 feet in length and between 10 and 15 feet in <br />height and was stable. <br />6) Adequate berm was noted around the affected area to protect drainage from entering <br />the dry gulches. No Erosion feature of significant size were noted at the time of <br />the inspection. <br />7) There was no activity in Phase I, however, the acres disturbed had not been <br />reclaimed and stockpiled processed material was noted at the time of the inspection. <br />According to the annual report, operator states once the processed stockpiled, <br />material is removed, reclamation will commence. The maximum allowable affected acres <br />is 60 acres at any given time. No actual measurements of the affected AREAS was <br />conducted at the time of the inspection. In order to make sure the operator has not <br />exceeded the allowable affected acres at any given time, the Division request the <br />operator to provide a survey of the affected acres in both Phase I& III. Once the <br />new maps are provided showing the actual affected acres, if the areas affected <br />exceeds 60 acres, DRMS, will recalculate the needed warranty. In the future, when <br />the operator decides to move the active mining are to other phase, prior to <br />completing the mining operation, a written notice has to be provided to the <br />Division, to make sure the affected acres will not be exceeded. <br />8) Permit sign was properly posted at the access to the property. <br />I & E Contact Address cc: r CE Mike Ausuburn, Pioneer <br />Angel Belantoni <br />NAME: WILLIAM PEETZ r BL <br />OPERATOR: RANCH LAND LLC r FS, <br />STREET: 3995 HII I CIRCI F r HW <br />r HMWMD (CH) <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP: crn nRAnn ePRw~s, C(7 An904 r <br />r SE <br />r WQCD (CH) <br />r OTHER <br />
