(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: M-~aaa-m3 <br />INSPECTION DATE: Nnv 77,07 INSPECTOR=S INITIALS: r;Rc <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This was apre-operational inspection of the Hall Irwin Corporation's The Shores site. Jeff Gregg and Jim McFarland of <br />Hall Irwin and Danna Ortiz and Karen Flanders of Rocky Mountain Consultants were present for the inspection. Hall Irwin <br />has applied for an amendment to their existing 112 (c) permit, located approximately 1 mile east of I-25 and 3 miles <br />north of the town of Firestone, Co. The amendment was submitted to change the mining sequence, add additional area <br />to the mining area, and to seal the ponds with perimeter slurry walls. It should be noted that although the area to be <br />mined will be increased, the actual permit area will not be increased or moved. <br />The general mine plan, along with the proposed modifications, was reviewed in the mine office prior to the actual field <br />inspection. Some minor issues were raised during the plan review. The Division is requesting that the following items be <br />addressed: 1) Notify the Rural Ditch Company of the Amendment application: 2) Add an addition existing gas well to <br />the application maps: 3) Label the permit boundary on the application maps. <br />Following the in-office review a field inspection of the site was conducted. The Mine ID sign is posted and the Public <br />Notice was also located. The general mine plan was described, and the proposed new mining boundaries were pointed <br />out in the field. The active pit, wash plant and settling ponds, and topsoil and overburden stockpiles were inspected. <br />Overall the inspector observed that this was a well run and very clean operation. <br />No major issues were identified as a result of this inspection, it is anticipated that addition comments will be made as a <br />result of the Division's adequacy review of the permit amendment application. <br />Cc: Carl Mount - DMG, Via electronic transmission <br />Danna Ortiz -Rocky Mountain Consultants <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: Jeff Gregg <br />OPERATOR: Hall Irwin Corporation <br />STREET: 3026 4~h Avenue, PO Box 2150 <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP: (;reele,~('olorado 80632 <br />cc: I' CE <br />t BL <br />t FS <br />t HW <br />I' HMWMD (CH) <br />I' SE <br />P WQCD (CH) <br />
