(Page 2) <br />MINE ID 8 OR PROSPECTING ID (} M-1977-195 <br />INSPECTION DATE 9/27/05 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS ESC <br />O888RVATION9 <br />This was an inspection of the Highway 291 Pit conducted by Erica Crosby of the Colorado <br />Division of Minerals and Geology. Fred Baldwin of Hard Rock Paving ~ Redi-Mix, inc. was <br />present during the inspection. The site is located 1 mile north went of Salida in Chaffee <br />County, Colorado. <br />The Highway 291 Pit is a 110 sand and gravel operation, permitted for 6.17 acres. The 110 <br />permit was issued on April 21, 1982. The Division holds a reclamation bond in the amount of <br />55,000.00. The approved postmining land use is wildlife habitdt. <br />A mine identification sign was observed at the entrance to the site. Permit boundary markers <br />were noted on site. Mining was not taking place during the inspection. A small pit has been <br />mined to a depth of approximately 16 feet. Water was noted in the pit, but correspondence in <br />the file indicates that the source of the water is "tail water° from irrigation of the <br />surrounding areas. From the annual reports, it appears that the site was last mine in 2002. <br />In 2004 some reclamation was conducted along the entrance to the road, however, no mining was <br />indicated. In 1987, TR-02 was approved to mine leas than 180-days a year. <br />The Division currently holds a reclamation bond in the amount of $5,000.00. In the previous <br />inspection it was noted that the bond may not cover the reclamation coat and would be <br />recalculated to cover the 6.17-acre area. The Division could find no evidence that the bond <br />was recalculated. The Division will review the bond to detezmine if 55,000.00 ie sufficient <br />to reclaim the site. Notice of any bond adjustment will be sent under separate cover. <br />14 s COatact Address <br /> ^ CH <br />NAMH Ma.
