(Page 2) <br />MINE ID# OR PROSPECTING ID# M-2004-009 INSPECTION DATE 04/29/04 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS GRS <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This was a Pre-operational inspection in response to an application for the Turnpike Mining <br />Resource conducted by Gregg Squire of the Division of Minerals and Geology. Rob Laird from <br />Asphalt Specialties and Peter Wayland of Weiland,Inc., were also present. The pit is located <br />about three miles west of I-25, on the north side of Colorado Highway 52. <br />A public notice stating that a permit application had been applied for was posted at the <br />entrance to the permit area. A general inspection of the area was conducted, including a <br />tour around the proposed boundaries and an on-site review of the proposed mining and <br />reclamation plans. It was also observed that there are a large number of structures on the <br />site, including irrigation ditches, power lines, oil wells and gas pipelines. It was noted <br />that the applicant is in the process of obtaining agreements with the owners of these <br />structures, and has agreed to maintain 200' setbacks until the agreements are finalized. It <br />was also noted that there has been previous mining on the site, which resulted in the <br />presence of a lake on the site. The earlier mining had been permitted by the Division, the <br />site had been reclaimed and the earlier permit has been released. The inspector did note <br />that there are a large number of Russian olive trees and what appears to be white top on the <br />site. These plant species should be aggressively controlled to ensure that the site can be <br />released upon completion of the reclamation. <br />There were no problems noted during the inspection which should cause unanticipated <br />difficulties in the permitting process. <br />I & 8 Coatact Address <br />NAME Mr. Rob Laird <br />OPERATOR Asphalt Specialties, Inc. j' CE <br />STREET 7321 East 88`h Ave. j' BL <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP Henderson, CO 80640 j' HW <br /> j' FS <br /> j' HMWMD (CH) <br /> j" SE <br /> j' WQCD (CH) <br />Cc: Peter Wayland, Weiland, Inc. <br />Carl Mount; DMG Via a-mail <br />
