Apre-operation site inspection was made of the Funk Gravel Pit located 2.2 miles east of Hayden on State Highway <br />40. Present during the inspection was Tammy Jakino of the Routt County Road & Bridge Dept. The operator has <br />recently submitted an application fora 112 conversion to expand the size of operation from 8.4 permitted acres to <br />47.6 acres. <br />2. An entrance sign was posted and permit boundary markers were present as required by Rule 3.1.12. Ms. Jakino <br />indicated that an additional entrance sign had been posted in conformance with Rule 1.6.2(1)(b) indicating the intent <br />of Routt County to expand the size of operation. This sign was in for repair at the time of inspection. <br />3. There were no noticeable surface water features or permanent man-made structures on or within 200 feet of the <br />proposed 47.6 acre expansion. There was a dry swale east of the existing pit area. The expansion area is now used <br />as agricultural cropland. <br />4. There was an active disturbance of approximately 5-7 acres including a pit floor area and excavation into a north <br />facing hillside. The operator has done an exemplary job of minimizing the mining disturbance by mining at a 1:1 <br />slope and by leaving an existing hillside along Highway 40 to serve as a visual berm. Available topsoil has been <br />salvaged for use in reclamation. Ms. Jakino indicated that the Funk pit will be mined in three phases, with the visual <br />berm hillside area mined last after the other two (2) phases have been mired and reclaimed. <br />5. Adequacy concerns for the conversion application were discussed. <br />6. There were no problems noted. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: Paul H.
