(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: M-1977-439 <br />INSPECTION DATE: nRi~ns INSPECTOR=S INITIALS: ~AS- <br />1. A site inspection of the Home Office Mine was conducted based on an inquiry from the City of Fort Collins on the status <br />of reclamation at the Home Office Mine. (see attached letter from Edith Felchle to DMG dated June 1, 2005). Present <br />during the inspection was Mr. Eric Reckentine of Lafarge West, Inc. <br />2. Ms. Felchle has inquired whether a 26 acre parcel containing reclaimed wash pond is within the permit boundary of the <br />Home Office Pit (M-77-439) or the Sterling Sand & Gravel Pit No. 2 (M-77-440), and whether groundwater was exposed at <br />this location prior to December 31, 1980. The site inspection confirmed that the pond in question does in fact occur <br />within the permit boundary of the Home Office Pit, and that a majority of the site has been mined and reclaimed to <br />ponds, including the 26 acre parcel immediately north of the Poudre River. Review of the permit file indicates that the 26- <br />acre area was mined after December 31, 1980. Exhibits C-3 & C-4 from Amendment No. 1 received on July 31, 1987 <br />verify that the 26-acre parcel was disturbed, but dry and did not contain any exposed groundwater. <br />3. Mr. Reckentine indicated that the 24 acre plant site area on the south side of the Poudre River will be the last portion <br />of the permit area to be mined. This area is still being used as processing and stockpile area. Virtually all other portions <br />of the Home Office Pit have been mined and reclaimed. <br />I & E ContactAddress <br />NAME: Mr. Eric Reckentine <br />OPERATOR: Lafarge West, Inc. <br />STREET: 1400 W. 64~h Ave. <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP: Denver, CO 80221 <br />cc: Carl Mount, DMG (via E-mail) <br />Attachment <br />
