<br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID # M-77-436 <br />INSPECTION DATE_March 25, 1998 <br />(Page 3) • <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS TAS <br />installation of a slurry wall to minimize or prevent the seepage of water into the pit, This <br />option may serve as a suitable corrective action with the conditions listed below, The <br />acceptable measures to correct the problem of unpermitted evaporative loss are as follows: <br />a) submit an application for a permit revision within 60 days for installation of a slurry <br />wall and commit to completing installation of the slurry wall within 90 days of Division <br />approval of the revision application, b) demonstrate approval of the TSSP by the Office of <br />the State Engineer within 60 days, or c) provide a reclamation bond sufficient to cover the <br />cost of all planned reclamation tasks and backfilling the excavation with sufficient material <br />to fill the pit to at least two (2) feet above the average highest groundwater level (usually <br />experienced in the spring of the year). Please see page 3 for details. <br />7. South of the plant site in Parcel E was approximately 1.5 acres of stored concrete waste <br />approximately 4 feet high. The concrete was unsorted and not filled or covered with soil. <br />Mr. Hammer explained that the stored concrete waste is considered to be a valuble asset and <br />will be used as riprap for bank restoration along the South Platte River. The Division will <br />consider the material to be a "saleable material" after it is sorted and ready for use as <br />riprap. If the operator can demonstrate by June 9, 1998 that the stored concrete has been <br />sorted and is now ready for use as riprap, the Division will not require the Tower Pit No. <br />1 to be bonded for the cost of removing the concrete to a disposal site such as the existing <br />pit. Photographs may be submitted to the Division to verify the preparation of the concrete <br />as a "saleable material. <br />8. The Division will reevaluate the reclamation cost for the Tower Pit No. 1 within the next <br />60 days. Included in the reclamation cost evaluation will be the demolition cost of 4 large <br />fuel tanks, removal of the ramps and foundation of the truck scales (estimated at $1,750), <br />removal of 17 flatbed trailer loads of miscellaneous non-roadable mining equipment (estimated <br />at $3,800), and various other permanent features. <br />I & E Contact Address <br /> ^ CE <br />NAME Mr. Dave Hammer ^ BL <br />OPERATOR D.H.
