(Page 2) <br /> MINE ID# OR PROSPECTING ID#: U-1280-11M <br /> INSPECTION DATE: KAny 132QQ8 INSPECTORS INITIALS: —nR9 <br /> OBSERVATIONS <br /> This was a routine inspection conducted by David Bird of DBMS. Present during the inspection was Mr.Scott <br /> Reynolds, Vice President and General Manager for ARS, Inc. -Denver. The site is located in Douglas County <br /> about 7 miles south of the intersection of C-470 and Highway 85 in close proximity to both residential and light <br /> industrial areas, and is bounded on the east by the Highline Canal. Access to the site is via Highway 85 south <br /> from C-470, west on Titan, and north on North Roxborough Park Road. <br /> Mr. Reynolds reports that very minimal mining is occurring at the site, consisting of small amounts of sandy-silty- <br /> loam, which incidentally was the source of material for the infield at Coors Field. ARS' primary business is <br /> construction, and the site is used to recycle and reprocess construction materials such as asphalt and <br /> concrete. Three or four small crushers and support conveyors, a bulldozer, and other assorted equipment are <br /> parked at the site awaiting call to duty when the construction market improves. Several small stockpiles of <br /> p9oduct were present during the inspection. 0% <br /> ARS currently allows an outside construction company to park some equipment on site on ground that appears <br /> to be about one acre in size <br /> No problems were observed during the inspection. The mine entrance is posted with the requisite sign and <br /> permit boundaries are well marked. No storm runoff or erosional problems were seen, there are no weed issues, <br /> and no geotechnical stability issues were observed. Some concurrent reclamation grading, topsoiling, and <br /> revegetation have already been performed, and very few open cuts are present. Mr. Reynolds noted that the <br /> company devotes considerable effort to dust control, due to the site's close proximity to a residential area. <br /> A low point at the northern end of the disturbed area is doing an admirable job of collecting storm water even <br /> though it was not designed for that purpose. Mr. Reynolds indicated that the depression was likely going to be <br /> filled in. If so, the operator may need to consider the fate of storm runoff and plan accordingly with a new <br /> storm runoff retention facility to avoid drainage problems in the pit area and off-site runoff. <br /> Comparison of current site conditions to the financial warranty calculated by the Division following the 2001 <br /> inspection indicates that conditions are comparable and that the financial warranty is adequate, so no further <br /> action is required of the operator. <br /> I & E Contact Address <br /> cc: r CE <br /> NAME: Scott Reynolds r BL <br /> r FS <br /> OPERATOR: ARS Sand & Gravel Co..
