<br /> <br />(Page 21 <br /> <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID # M-92-700 <br />INSPEGTION DATE 11-12-98 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS SSS <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This was a partial inspection of the River Bottom Gravel Pit conducted as part of the Division's routine monitoring program. The <br />inspection was also conducted to evaluate current site conditions in preparation for recalculating the site reclamation cost <br />estimate. The recalculated estimate will be used to verify if the current financial warranty for this site is still adequate to reclaim <br />this site per the approved reclamation plan. <br />The operator indicated that boundary markers were installed after the last inspection of this site, but trespassers had removed the <br />new markers. The operator must re-install the permit boundary markers to make the permit hcundary readily identifiable. These <br />markers will need to be placed accurately and installed adequately, so they can only be removed with substantial effort. <br />Photographs of compliance with this corrective action must be submitted to the Division upon completion. The completion date is <br />set for December 31, 1998. The boundary that is in the river channel is not required to be marked. <br />The operator indicated that the river channel was recently surveyed. The operator uses the river channel survey to determine <br />how many feet of gravel he can mine Ito what depth). Please submit the data from the river channel survey to the Division, for <br />future reference. <br />This is the case reported by all the instream gravel operators that were contacted, in this area. The operator indicated that it <br />appeared he could mine approximately six feet deep this season. <br />The operator indicated that the concrete batch plant facilities, located just east of the permitted facilities area, will be removed in <br />the near future. <br />The Yellow toadflax observed at this site during the last inspection was not observed during this inspection. The operator <br />indicated that they pulled all the toadflax that was on site. <br />SE/4 NE/4 Sec. 1, T74S, R92W, 6th P.M. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME <br />OPERATOR <br />STREET <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP <br />Patricia Farnsworth <br />River Bottom Land Coro. <br />1425 4005 Lane <br />Paonia.
