<br />(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: M-1995-027 <br />INSPECTION DATE: April 19, 2001 <br />OBSERVATIONS <br /> <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: AIW <br />This was a normal monitoring inspection conducted by Tony Waldron of DMG along with Robert Vance of Park County Road <br />and Bridge. The Chapparal Pit is located approximately 20 miles southeast of Hansel, Colorado and approximately 1 mile <br />south of Elevenmile Resevoir. The area may be described as more ridge valley type topography that is common as South Park <br />starts to give way to the more mountainous surrounding terrain. The pit is situated on the side of one of these ridges or knobs <br />and an adjacent pit (M-97-035) is situated over the other ridge flank. <br />There was a mine identification sign present at the entrance to the site and the permit boundary markers were marked by <br />aluminum survey caps. It was suggested that the operator may want to mark all corners of the permit area with tee-posts or <br />some other more clearly visible means as well as installing some line posts. This was suggested because stockpiling ac[iviry <br />along the west side of the pit had nearly spilled across the permit boundary. The toe of the material stockpile was just about <br />touching [he west permit boundary line. The rest of the operation is well within the designated boundaries. The operator has <br />been doing a great job of mining in such a way as to maintain 3H:1 V slopes along the excavation zones and topsoil salvage <br />operations seemed to be in compliance. Overall the site is very neat and orderly and no problems were identified. <br />cc: Jim Stevens-DMG <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: Robert Vance <br />OPERATOR: Park County Road and Bridge <br />STREET: P.O.Box 147 <br />CITY/STATE2IP: Fairplav, CO 80440 <br />^ CE <br />^ BL <br />^ FS <br />^ HW <br />^ HMWMD (CH) <br />^ SE <br />^ WQCD (CH) <br />^ OTHER <br />
