(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID # M-1981-138 <br />INSPECTION DATE 04/25/2007 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS DEZ <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This routine monitoring inspection of Permit Number M-1981-138 (Gravel Pit #17 -Glover Pit) was conducted by Tony Waldron <br />and Deb E. Zack of the DRMS. No Baca County representative was available for this inspection. The pit is located <br />approximately 2 miles south and 19 miles east of Campo, CO near the intersection of county roads G and 48, and currently <br />consists of approximately 9.5 acres, all of which are considered active. <br />The mine entrance sign was posted, and permit boundaries were marked with tires. At the time of this inspection it was noted <br />that some of the regrading has been done on this site, but not all, which is consistent with the possibility of future expansion into <br />the area to the east that may be mined in the future under a possible conversion to a 112c operation. The northwest corner of <br />the permit area has been regraded to an acceptable slope of 3h:1v or less steep (see photo 1) and should be considered an <br />example of the slopes that should exist upon reclamation completion. Versus the southwestern slope (see photo 2), which <br />appeared to be steeper than the approved reclamation plan requires. The Division recommends that submission of the <br />conversion application should include a minor expansion to the west as well as to the east, to provide more room for regrading <br />the southwestern portion of the site to an appropriate slope. <br />Topsoil was stockpiled around the western permit boundary along the perimeter of the pit <br />It is the understanding of this inspector that a conversion application maybe submitted in the near future to incorporate apre- <br />law mined area to the east of the current pit (see photos 3-4). Information was mailed by the Division to Baca County that <br />explains the procedures for that revision, along with a copy of an example application. <br />All activities and completed work at the time of inspection appeared to follow the guidelines and regulations set forth by the <br />state and in the mining and reclamation plans for the pit. At the time of this inspection there appeared to be no long-term <br />(greater than 72 hours) water retention. <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to Deb E.
