4 <br />MINE ID /` OR PROSPECTING ID $ <br />INSPECTION DATE 04/19/94 <br />(Page 2) • <br />M-87-116 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS RCO <br />Thia inspection was performed by the Division as a follow up to an inspection on 11/04/93. <br />Operator was contacted about the inspection but was unable to be there. Some Bite work has <br />been done by the operator which will allow for the Division to be better able to calculate <br />the needed bond amount. When figures are prepared, they will be sent to the operator for <br />review. <br />Items noted during inspection include: <br />Signs and markers were present. <br />There are fewer stockpiles of product on the permit area now. <br />Topsoil is present, but thin and rocky. Piles are separated from work areas, are not seeded <br />but are low in profile and on level ground, so that they appear stable. If pit is to be <br />expanded significantly, topsoil piles will have to be moved. operator should take care to <br />minimize the handling of topsoil. If piles are high or sloped steeply, seeding for their <br />protection may be recommended. <br />Communication received by the Division from the operator in January 1994 stated that the <br />sedimentation pond downstream (SW) of the pit was adequate to contain surface runoff. It is <br />located outside of the permit area, but on the permittee's land. This structure was <br />inspected during this inspection. It is an earthen dam, 200 feet long, 30 feet wide at the <br />bottom, 2:1 elopes, grassy surfaces, top was 6 feet above the water line, 3 foot freeboard <br />at spillway. It appears that moat of the site's runoff drains into the old pit (south and <br />below the active pit) if runoff occurs. No traces of sedimentation were observed outside the <br />permit area, or even leading toward the pond. Area draining into this pond is large, though <br />permit area ie small by comparison. If lower pit were not there to provide primary <br />catchment, it is felt that another structure would have to be installed. Control by these <br />two features appears adequate to this inspector. <br />Site was clean and orderly. There was no equipment on site. There were no problems noted at <br />this inspection. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME Bill Tezak <br />OPERATOR Colorado Quarries <br />STREET 270 S 15th St <br />CITY/STATE/2IPCanon Citv CO 81212 <br />cc: Jim Stevens/DMG <br />^ CE <br />^ BL <br />^ FS <br />^ HW <br />^ HMWMD (CH) <br />^ SE <br />^ WQCD (CH) <br />^ OTHER <br />
