This inspection was conducted as a pre-operational inspection related to a new application for a 112c <br />permit. Present at the inspection were Kate Pickford, DBMS, Darin Stone, McStone Aggregates, LLC. <br />Weather at the time of the inspection was clear, windy, and approximately 55.degrees. <br />2. The application proposes operations of a sand and gravel operation consisting of 154.4 acres which is <br />located approximately 2 miles west of the town of Mancos. The site consists primarily of agricultural land <br />with native grasses. Some of the higher areas contain pinons and junipers. Mud Creek is located north <br />of the site. <br />3. A small portion of the site was mined, pre-law, and was never reclaimed. There is a stock pond located <br />in the northeast corner of the site that contains water. The proposed mining area, however, does not <br />include this portion of the site and the adjacent area to be mined is oriented at a higher elevation than <br />the stock pond. Groundwater, therefore, should not be encountered. <br />4. There is an earthen dam along a portion of the eastern proposed permit boundary that contains a <br />number of ponds on the adjacent property. Issues related to stability of this structure and mining limits <br />relative to this structure will be addressed in the adequacy review process. The main access road from <br />hwy. 160 will be improved to serve as a CDOT compliant entrance to the site. At the time of the <br />inspection, an entry gate was observed which spans the access road. Issues related to the gate and <br />protections of structures related to the road improvements for the access will also be addressed during <br />the adequacy review process. <br />5. No conditions were observed during this inspection that would prohibit approval of a permit for this <br />operation. The adequacy review process will proceed within the established timeframe. <br />Cc: ? CE <br />I & E Contact Address ? BL <br />? FS <br />NAME: Darren Stone ?
