(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID # M-1997-027 <br />INSPECTION DATE 2-14-2004 <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS SSS <br />This was a routine monitoring inspection conducted as part of DMG's ongoing monitoring program for permitted mines in <br />Colorado. <br />The mine identification sign and affected area boundary markers are in place and in compliance with Rule 3.1.12. <br />No significant erosional features were noted on the affected areas of the site. <br />No significant infestations of noxious or other problematic weeds were noted on site during this inspection. The entire site has <br />been disturbed by mining leaving no indication of the previously noted knapweed patches. <br />The topsoil piles, though located right adjacent to the permit boundary, have not slumped across the boundary. These <br />stockpiles do not support much stabilizing vegetation but appear to be stabilized by crusting over the surface. <br />A shop with office, deck, alternate access road, several concrete footer pads, propane tank, electricity, lawn, fuel tanks, and <br />water spigots have been located on the southeast corner of the site. These features were added into the permit through <br />approval of Technical Revision No. 1 in 2003. The post mining land use for this site is rangeland with residential use for the <br />southern portion where the shop/residence is located. <br />The two above ground fuel storage tanks located on the north side of the shop, noted in the previous inspection report, have <br />been removed. <br />The pit slope on the east side of the shop has been graded to a slope of 3:1 or less and vegetated. <br />The pit is currently active. Mr. Botti indicated he was crushing and stockpiling approximately 60,000 tons of material at this <br />time. He indicated that would leave approximately 40,000 tons to completely mine out the pit. Mr Botti indicated he may be <br />interested in changing the post-mining land use to residential home sites for the north portion of the pit. This would require <br />submittal and approval of an amendment to the application. Without reasonable assurance that the residential land use will be <br />implemented, DMG will still require the reclamation plan and reclamation bond include account for revegetation of the site. <br />Technical Revision No. 1 tlesignated the residential area on the south side of the site and indicated that would be removed <br />from the permit. A release request for this portion of the site has yet to be submitted. DMG will be updating the reclamation <br />cost estimate within the next few weeks. This estimate will include costs for reclamation of the residential area on the south <br />half of the site if an adequate release request for that portion is not submitted by March 10, 2006. The release request must <br />meet the requirements of Rule 4.17 and should refer to and include information and the map from Technical Revision No. 1 <br />documenting the area to be released and the reclamation performed there. <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to Steve Shuey at the Division of Minerals and Geology, Grand Junction <br />Field Office, 101 South 3rtl Street, Room 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, phone number 970-243-6368. <br />I & E Contact Address cc: Carl Mount -DMG Denver Office <br />^ CE <br />NAME Andrew J Botti ^ BL <br />OPERATOR A.
