jPage 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: ~-iQV9-~x'~ <br />INSPECTION DATE: 8/~1/ne INSPECTOR=S INITIALS: A IW <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This was an acreage reduction request inspection conducted by Tony Waldron of DMG. The site is located <br />approximately 4 miles south of the Town of Kim, Colorado, The pit is situated along the toe-slope of a small <br />mesa or sandstone outcrop. The surrounding area is short-grass prairie typical to this area of Eastern Colorado. <br />This site was originally permitted by the Colorado Department of Highways and transferred over to Las Animas <br />County in 1989. The area where the county is requesting an acreage reduction was never mined and has not <br />been disturbed since the county has been the lead operator. The state used the area briefly as a staging area <br />for an asphalt plant. The main disturbance that likely occurred probably resulted from vehicle traffic in and <br />around the plant while it was in operation. Due to the minimal disturbance incurred, the area has vegetated <br />naturally through invasion from adjacent undisturbed areas and natural recovery of the grasses and shrubs <br />present prior to its use as an asphalt staging area. Based on this inspection, the 1.09 acres included in this <br />acreage reduction/release request are eligible for full release. Approval of this request will leave 8.70 acres in <br />the active permit area. <br />The operator indicated that their intent is to add an equivalent amount of land (1.09 acres) to the remaining <br />permit area via the Technical Revision/Amendment process in order to expand the mineable portion of their <br />pit. A policy memo describing how Phis process works is included with this report. <br />This concluded the inspection. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: Phil Dorenkamo <br />OPERATOR: Las Animas County~oad and Bridge <br />STREET: 9000 N I inden Ava <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP: Trinirlarl Cn R1nR9 <br />cc: I CE <br />I BL <br />t FS <br />I' H W <br />T HMWMD (CH) <br />r SE <br />t WOCD (CH) <br />t OTHER <br />
