(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: M-2008-018 <br />INSPECTION DATE: 5-5-08 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS GRM <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This inspection was conducted as part of the normal program established by the Colorado Division of Reclamation, <br />Mining and Safety for permit applications. The proposed Lazy Triangle Ranch Pit is located in far northern Moffat <br />County. Due to scheduling conflicts no applicant representative was present for the inspection. <br />The remnants of the required public notice appeared to be posted at the proposed entrance to the site just of County <br />Road 4. The proposed access road takes off due west from the existing road that comes off the road. Currently the <br />road is a two tract road that fades into the vegetation. The permit holder will need to submit a map with the road <br />surveyed in from the centerline. This can be done after the application decision but must be submitted prior to road <br />construction completion. The inspector used the back road past the main ranch to access the primary permit area. <br />The proposed pit area is along the northern edge of a low mesa. Historic ranch excavations and dumps dot the <br />surface along the entire proposed mining area. The inspector notes that there will need to be an agreement between <br />the permit holder and the ranch that no future dumping of any kind will be permitted until the site is reclaimed and <br />released. The permit holder will also need to either remove the existing refuse or have the landowner do it as part of <br />the initial start up phase. <br />No utilities are noted within the general surrounding area. The submitted maps depict the area very well. No <br />permanent man made structures other than the fence line along the southern boundary were noted. <br />The mesa is relatively flat on the top with the northern slope at 2 to 2:5 naturally. Vegetation is primarily native <br />grasses with sage brush on the slopes. No noxious weeds where noted, however it is early in the growing season. <br />No other issues or problems are noted. <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to Russ Means 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 />970-241-1117. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: Denise Gonzales <br />OPERATOR: Hard Rock Paving <br />STREET: P.O.
