The amendment area has been properly <br />marked and flagged. All boundaries of the amendment area were observed and <br />walked. <br />This pit has a large stockpile of roadbase material in the middle of the pit <br />and has been essentially mined out. Brush and topsoil has been pushed to the <br />lower part of the hill that this pit is located on which will make it a <br />challenge to redistribute the topsoil when reclamation is being done. The <br />operator wishes to extend the pit to the south and mine out the rest of the <br />hill in that direction. <br />A problem was noted with accelerated erosion at this site during the <br />inspection of July. Water was running out of the pit to the northeast and <br />carrying sediment down the road ditch and into an ephemeral drainage. This <br />problem has been addressed by the building of a berm to contain all the pit <br />runoff within the disturbed area. Also, the operator has built a series of <br />collection ditches and berms down the steep disturbed area to the east of the <br />pit. This area was the one showing the most accelerated erosion. The <br />problem noted in the July inspection report is considered abated. <br />No problems were noted during this inspection. <br />I & E Contact Address cc: <br /> ^ CE ^ HW <br />NAME Mr. Marvin Moore ^ BL ^ HMWMD (CH) <br />OPERATOR Moffat County ^ FS ^ SE <br />STREET P.O.
