(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: M-1978-172 <br />INSPECTION DATE: 1/4/2008 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS THM <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This inspection was conducted as part of the normal program established by the Colorado Division of Reclamation, <br />Mining and Safety. The Antelope Hill Pit is located northeast of Delta, Colorado off of Sundown Road. The site is <br />a 1 l2c-phased operation with 70.17 permitted acres. <br />The mine identification sign was in place and in compliance with rule 3.1.12. The sign is located on a post at the <br />main entrance on the north side of the gravel mine. The permit boundaries are comprised of fence posts with PVC <br />pipe on top that are easily identifiable around the entire perimeter of the mine. <br />The pit is currently not active. No equipment was observed in within the permit boundary. Adequate amounts of <br />topsoil and overburden appeared to be stockpiled for the permitted reclamation plan. A few small stockpiles of <br />material were present during the inspection. Some miscellaneous mine related equipment and lumber was observed <br />along the western edge of the permit area. No evidence of major storm water erosion was noted. The boulder <br />armoring that was constructed after the August 2003 inspection appeared to stabilize the affected slope. <br />Various weeds were observed along the permit boundaries. The infestation was light and it appeared that no <br />noxious weeds were present. <br />Photos that show the conditions observed during the inspection are included at the end of this report. <br />No problems or violations were noted or observed during the January 4, 2008 inspection. <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to Travis Marshall at the Division of Reclamation, Mining <br />and Safety, Grand Junction Field Office, 101 South 3rd Street, Room 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, phone <br />no. 970-623-5596. <br />I & E Contact Address cc: <br />NAME: Bob Kalenak ?
