Two large stockpiles <br />remain in the pit, in addition to the topsoil stockpiles remaining on the west side of the pit. <br />A sign is posted at the entrance to the pit. The sign is semi legible, and will need replaced in the near future. Boundary <br />markers are in evidence, and are sufficient. No fuel or oil was stored at the pit at the time of inspection. <br />The west and north sides of the pit were mined to highwalls ranging from 0 to 12', back to 6' high on the west side, and <br />ranging from 6'to 15'to 0 on the north side. Approximately 50%of the north highwall will have to be backfilled, the remaining <br />50% can be pushed over to grade the slope to 3:1. The area that needs backfilled is the area from 10' to 15' high. <br />The northern portion of the pit has a tamarisk infestation that needs attention soon, as tamarisk is listed in the State of <br />Colorado as a noxious weed. This is listed as a problem on the first and third sheet of this inspection and a plan for mitigation <br />of the infestation must be received by the Division of Minerals and Geology (DMG) by November 1, 2002. <br />The bond was calculated for Mr. Torres to assist with his decision to take over the property, and amounts to approximately <br />$ 27,750.00. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: Mr. Frank Bryant <br />OPERATOR: Bent County <br />STREET: P() enx 350 <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP: I as Animas, CO 81054 <br />cc: ^ Mr. Harry Posey <br />^ CE <br />^ BL <br />^ FS <br />^ HW <br />^ HMWMD (CH) <br />^ SE <br />^ WQCD (CH) <br />Mr. Rudy Torres <br />1750 County Rd.
