The inspection was <br />conducted April 27, 1999, with the report received by Robinson Brick on May 5, 1999. <br />Item 1: Operator reported 63.2 acres disturbed in the 1998 Annual Report. <br />Only 50 acres disturbance allowed. <br />Robinson Brick Company (ROBCO) reported 39.3 total acres affected during the report <br />year. A total of 24.18 acres are in reclamation for the same report year. The Mine and <br />Reclamation plan states "The total disturbed area at any one time will not exceed 50 <br />acres. Ofthat 50 acres, no more than 35 acres will need partial backfilling and recoiling <br />(major); any disturbed acreage on the remaining 15 acres will have been backfilled and <br />recoiled (moderate & minor) and in the fmal stages of reclamation." <br />Robinson Brick Company field surveyed the Apache Mine disturbance areas in May and <br />June of 1999. The annual report was incorrect in the area reported as disturbed. Apache <br />Mine, as of June 17, 1999, has 26.4 acres of major disturbance and 23.2 acres of <br />moderate and minor disturbance. This results in 49.6 acres ofcurrently disturbed area. <br />In addition, 1.0 acre of ponds and 1.8 acres of the South Access Road are currently <br />disturbed but excluded from the disturbed area totals as these features remain after <br />reclamation. If the pond and road disturbances are included, 52.4 acres aze currently <br />disturbed. <br />1895 West Dartmouth Avenue Denver, Colorado 80110-1308 <br />Sales (303) 783-3000 Toll Free 1800) 977-9002 Fay (303) 781-1618 <br />http://www.robco.com/robinsonbrick <br />
