OB7GINAL -PUBLIC FILE <br />(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: nn_ig9n-ins <br />INSPECTION DATE: ~~/~l/nR INSPECTORoS INITIALS: .-B.IL- <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />The Division conducted a monitoring inspection of the sites to be inspected during the <br />fiscal years 2007-208. Site is a small 110 sand and gravel operation located approximately <br />10 miles East of Pueblo, Colorado. Operator was contacted but was unable to attend. <br />Access gate to the property was locked, had to climb over the fence to inspect the site. <br />There was no permit sign posted at the access to the property, given the fact that some <br />one might have removed the sign, the fact it was not visible at the time of the inspection <br />will not be sited as a possible problem. The Division contacted the operator after <br />returning to the office and the operator's representative assured the Division the sign <br />was properly posted, and could have been vandalized and will place another one as soon as <br />possible. <br />As reported above, the site is a 9.9 acre 110 permit which was not active at the time of <br />the inspection. From what was observed on site, it appears the site might have been in <br />active for a few years. The only activity that could be considered mining might have been <br />removal of material from already stockpiled sources on site. <br />There were some stockpiles of what appeared to be overburden/ topsoil located along the <br />west side of the permit area. They were stable and no sign of severe erosion noted. <br />No noxious weed infestation noted. <br />The Division had difficulty finding some of the permit boundary markers and recommend the <br />operator to place an appropriate boundary marker that could be easily identified, and <br />provide proof of the posting of the sign and the markers as soon as possible. <br />However, given the inactivity on site, if the operator has no plans to mine the area, <br />reclamation should commence and there will be no need to post the new markers. <br />At present, the Division is holding a reclamation warranty in the amount of $14,500.00, <br />which is adequate to cover the current disturbance. However, if the current disturbance is <br />going to be expanded, additional warranties might be required. <br />18~ E Contact Address <br />NAME: Mrs. RONDA NEUMEISTER <br />OPERATOR: RBK CONSTR TION <br />ADDRESS P.O.BOX 387 <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP: RyP_ C'nlnrncln Rln~9 <br />r BL <br />r FS, <br />r HW <br />r HMWMD (CH) <br />r <br />r SE <br />r WQCD (CH) <br />r OTHER <br />cc: r CE <br />
