(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: M-1997-n6a <br />INSPECTION DATE: 5-~o-n~ INSPECTORS INITIALS: __JR__ <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />Completed a partial inspection of this site to determine whether the existing financial warranty is adequate and to <br />determine whether the operator has right of access to the site. <br />The site is located about '/s mile west of Highway 115 nearly 21 miles south of Colorado Springs. <br />A mine I b sign has been placed at the entrance to the permit area just a short distance off of the highway. The 9.9 acre <br />permit is adequately delineated with short 4X4 wood posts. <br />Mining is progressing from southeast to northwest. Currently, approximately 5 acres have been disturbed. The existing $20, <br />600 financial warranty is more than adequate to reclaim current disturbances pursuant to the approved reclamation plan. <br />Currently, it is questionable whether the operator has right of access to the site to initiate a mining operation on the <br />affected land. It is possible, the quarry mining lease (number QR 3280) from the State Board of Land Commissioners has <br />expired, or was not renewed. If this is the case, the operator could be in violation of the Act/Construction Materials Rules <br />and Regulations. This is noted as a problem on page three of this report which will need to be addressed by the corrective <br />action due date. The operator shall be given 60 days to submit documentation to the DMG that right of access is still valid <br />or submit notice to the DMG that the operator no longer has right of access to the permit area. Anon-response to this <br />problem within 60 days, or a notification submittal from the operator that he no longer has right of access, will require <br />sending a Reason to Believe letter notifying the operator to appear before the Mined Land Reclamation Board at the first <br />available Board meeting to explain to the Board why he doesn't have right of access to the site. <br />If the operator has any questions, please contact James Dillie at 303-866-4060. <br /> <br />®C~ <br />S 1 c~~~O~ <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: Mr. Jerry Screws <br />OPERATOR: Western Nutrients, Inc <br />STREET: 11157 West 76'" Place <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP: Arvada CO 80005 <br />James Stevens <br />cc: ^ CE <br />^ BL <br />^ FS <br />^ HW <br />^ HMWMD (CH) <br />^ SE <br />^ WQCD (CH) <br />t9 OTHER Mark Davis <br /> State Land Board <br /> 7 313 Sherman 5t <br /> Denver, Co. 80203 <br />
