The North Bank Resources Pit is located 4 miles east of Rifle, Colorado off of <br />Highway 6. The site is a 112c operation. Lafarge submitted a technical revision application and the inspection was <br />conducted to assess the proposed change in the mine phase sequence. <br />The mine identification sign and the permit boundary markers were not identified during the inspection. The site was <br />entered at the entrance located north of the site offofHighway 6. Please provide photo documentation of the mine <br />identification sign. This is not seen as a problem because no mining has taken place. <br />No disturbance has occurred within the permit area. <br />The proposed changes in the mine plan will begin the mining in Cell B rather than Cell A and reduce the phase size <br />from 15-20 acres down to 10 acres. <br />The proposed conveyor belt that crosses the Colorado River was not constructed at the time of the inspection. <br />Four natural gas wells were observed adjacent the permit area and one was located within the permit boundary. The <br />wells are operated by Antero Resources Corporation. The natural gas well located within the permit boundary will <br />be mined up to the north side of the well pad according to the reclamation map. <br />Photos that show the conditions observed during the inspection are included at the end of this report. <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to Travis Marshall at the Division of Reclamation, Mining and <br />Safety, Grand Junction Field Office, 101 South 3rd Street, Room 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, phone no. <br />970-623-5596. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: Eric Reckentine <br />OPERATOR: Lafarize West Inc. <br />STREET: 1400 W. 64`h ave. <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP: Denver, CO 81221 <br />cc: <br />?
