(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID # M-1978-007 <br />INSPECTION DATE 07/13/2006 <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS DEG <br />This routine monitoring inspection of Permit Number M-1978-007 (Big Burn Pit #17) was conducted by Deb E. Gbnima of the <br />DMG. Moffat County representative Marvin Moore was present during this inspection. The pit is located 85 miles northwest of <br />Craig, CO, and currently consists of approximately 20 acres where approximately 15 acres have been disturbed. The site is <br />approximately'/, mile west of County Road 10 near Irish Canyon. <br />Mine entrance signs and permit boundary markers are all in place, and topsoil stockpiles are all well-marked. All activities and <br />completed work at the time of inspection appeared to follow the guidelines and regulations set forth by the state and the mining <br />and reclamation plans for the pit, and no problems are noted for this site. The site is stable and no disturbance was observed <br />outside of the approved permit boundaries. For future reference, this site is correctly positioned in the DMG online GIS. <br />Two large material stockpiles are situated near the northwest portion of the site, and although the majority of the active mining <br />area is flat, the affected area is situated to facilitate drainage to the northeast (see photos 1 and 3). The topsoil stockpile has <br />been constructed near the western corner of the permit boundary (see photo 2). The storm water runoff control program that <br />was implemented a few years back seems to have been successful in its use of diversion structures, sediment traps, and small <br />ponding areas. There appears to be no offsite erosion, and no long-term (greater than 72 hours) water retention was observed. <br />There were several pieces of equipment present at the time of this inspection, including a fuel tanker (see photos i and 4). <br />Appropriate secondary containment measures were in place to mitigate potential damage from a fuel spill (see photo 4). <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to Deb E.
