(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: M-2005-075 <br />INSPECTION DATE: 1-11-06 <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS GRM <br />This inspection was conducted as part of the normal monitoring program established by the Colorado Division of <br />Minerals and Geology. The Glen Pit is a new 112 permit application for the Old Castle gravel complex east of Rifle <br />Colorado. Brent Kerr from Old Castle SW was present for the inspection. <br />The Public Notice was observed posted at the proposed entrance to the site. Currently the proposed permit <br />boundaries are marked by fence lines along the east and north, with the Colorado river to the south and a natural <br />bench along the west side. <br />Current land use is pastureland for livestock by the landowner. A review of the Pre-mining map shows that all <br />utilities appear to run along the west side of the proposed area where current residential structures are located. <br />Mining plans may remove these structures and damage waivers for the utilities appear to be sufficient. The operator <br />should ensure that the landowner has a full understanding that any livestock within the permit area during <br />reclamation may have negative impacts on those efforts. <br />The area for a proposed sedimentation pond is located on an alluvial terrace just above the river. Currently there is a <br />small area that appears to be a historic stock pond. There is noted a farm landfill directly west of this area that is out <br />of the proposed boundaries. Old machinery and other items are noted in case any issues come up at a future date. <br />Overall, the site is well represented on the Pre-Mining Map. Some minor issues will be addressed in the Adequacy <br />Review of the application. <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to Russ Means at the Division of Minerals and Geology, <br />Grand Junction Field Office, 101 South 3`d Street, Room 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, phone no.970-241- <br />1117. <br />I & E Contact Address cc: <br />^ CE <br />NAME: Brent Kerr ^ BL <br />OPERATOR: Old Castle SW ^ FS <br />STREET: P.O.
