RECEIVED ORIGINAL -PUBLIC FILE (Page 2) MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: M-i eae-nna INSPECTION DATE: 6J~I ins OBSERVATION JAN 0 3 2006 Division of Minerals and Geology INSPECTOROS INITIALS: ~K- The Division conducted a monitoring inspection of the site as part of sites to be inspected under the 4-year program. The site is a small 112 in stream mining operation permitted as a 112 in error in a small branch of the Republican River. The total affected acreage was approximately 3 acres and Mr.Isenbert stated that when the site was last inspected he communicated Kit Carson's desire to correct the error and was notified to ask for a release and apply for a 110 permit to replace the 112. The release request was denied due to the small active area, which approximates 3 acres that did not meet the approved reclamation plan. After talking to Mr. Bruce Humphries, Minerals Program Supervisor on 7/5/05, of the County's wishes to correct the error, it was agreed to ask Kit Carson County to submit a conversion application from the current 112 to a 110. As stated earlier the site is in a dry streambed, a small amount of stockpile material was observed along the North East portion of the permit area. The active mining area was stable and no major sigr_ of erasion features were noted, that would not have existed even if mining in the dry stream bed did not take place. No major noxious weed infestation was observed in the 30 plus acres of the undisturbed part of the current permit area. Kit Carson County has a County wide noxious weed control plan that it implements on as need basis. The permit sign and boundary markers were properly posted.
