A site inspection of the Adamson Brothers Pit was conducted in response to a response by the Landowner (Adamson <br />Bros & Sons Feedlot) to transfer the permit from Yuma County to Adamson Bros & Sons Feedlot. Present during the <br />inspection was Mr. Paul Like of Yuma County Road & Bridge Department. Photographs of the site were taken and are <br />attached to this report. <br />2. The Adamson Brothers Pit is an active pit with approximately 7-8 acres of surface disturbance. No groundwater has <br />been exposed thus far. The current operator has done a good job of contemporaneous reclamation by ball and <br />grading a significant portion of the pit highwalls to a 3:1 slope. All disturbances were found to be well within the 9.99 <br />acre permit boundary. Available topsoil has been salvaged and stockpiled for use during final reclamation. This inspector <br />estimates 12,000 cubic yards of topsoil to be re-spread and 9 acres to be re-vegetated at final reclamation. The site will <br />ultimately be rec{aimed to rangeland. This inspector estimates a total reclamation cost of $ 9,400 to complete the <br />reclamation plan. This is the amount of financial warranty that Adamson Bros & Sons Feedlot will need to submit to <br />complete the Succession of Operator's process. (Please see attached reclamation cost estimate). <br />3. Mr. Like indicated that the landowner would prefer to leave the pit floor open and available for collection of effluent <br />from the adjacent, up-gradient feedlot, rather than to have the pit Floor topsoiled and re-vegetated. It is likely that such a <br />change will result in a change in the total estimated reclamation cost and required bond amount. To accommodate such <br />change, tfie current or future operator will need to submit a request for a technics{ revision to the reclamation plan. Such <br />request will need to include a $188 revision fee. The Division recommends that either party contact the Division first prior <br />to submittal of such request to discuss the logistics and timing of the revision submittal. <br />I 8~E Contact Address <br />NAME: Mr. Paul Like <br />OPERATOR: Yuma County <br />STREET: 1310 5.
