Zack of the DRMS and as part of <br />the Division's routine monitoring protocol. Baca County representative Danny Ausmus was available for this inspection. The pit <br />is located approximately 1 mile east and 9.5 miles north of Two Buttes, CO near the intersections of Prowers County Road's 21 <br />and D and currently consists of approximately 160 acres, of which only 9.8 acres have been disturbed. <br />The mine entrance sign and permit boundaries were all clearly marked. Activity is currently restricted to the southwestern <br />corner of the site. Adequate topsoil is stockpiled at the southern and southeastern portions of the current active portion of the <br />site. <br />The Operator inquired as to the procedures required by the Division in order for the County to mine additional permitted <br />acreage for this and other 112c sites. This inspector committed to the Operator to determining what steps are necessary. <br />Information regarding this question will be sent to the County soon, under separate cover. <br />All other activities and completed work at the time of inspection appeared to follow the guidelines and regulations set forth by <br />the state and in the mining and reclamation plans for the pit. The site is stable and no disturbance was observed outside of the <br />approved permit boundaries. At the time of this inspection there appeared to be no long-term (greater than 72 hours) water <br />retention. <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to Deb E. Zack at the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety, <br />Denver Office, 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, Colorado 80203, phone number 303-866-4179. <br />I & E Contact Address cc: <br />^ CE <br />NAME Glen Ausmus ^ BL <br />OPERATOR Baca County ^ FS <br />STREET 741 Main Street ^ HW <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP Springfield, CO 81073 ^ HMWMD (CH) <br />^ SE <br />^ WQCD (CH) <br />^ OTHER <br />cc: Tony Waldron, DRMS via a-mail <br />
