(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: M-9nn81130 <br />INSPECTION DATE: g/9i ign08 INSPECTOR=S INITIALS: FC'S <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This was a pre-operational inspection conducted by Eric Scott, Tony Waldron and Michael Cunningham of <br />DRMS. DRMS representatives met with representatives of the Sessions family at the site at approximately 15:00. <br />The site entrance is located on the west side of County Road FF approximately 750' north of the intersection of <br />County Road FF and County Road 46.5 in Yuma County. <br />The permit area is 80 acres with the SE corner near the intersection of County Road FF and County Road 46.5 <br />The southern boundary of the site is near, but not parallel to County Road 46.5 and the eastern boundary is <br />parallel to County Road FF on the west side of the road. Wire fences mark the east, west, and north side of the <br />site. <br />The southern area of the permit area was formerly a county pit in the early 1980's that appeared to have had <br />very little or no reclamation after mining. Pre-mining use of the site is currently listed as rangeland and no <br />livestock were observed on-site. Vegetation in the disturbed area of the site is returning, although it is still <br />sparse, and includes several types of grasses such as blue gramma, sideoats, switchgrass, little bluestem, and <br />sand dropseed. The undisturbed area of the site was vegetated in much the same manner, but slightly thicker. <br />Topsoil was very thin overlaying very sandy sub-soils. The remaining pit area from the former operations still had <br />steep slopes in several areas, and a portion of a pile of material was still on-site. The undisturbed area of the site <br />was relatively level with no surface drainages observed. The only permanent man-made structures observed <br />within 200' of the permit area were the site fences, county roads, and a utility line. DRMS advised the Sessions <br />that they would need to obtain signed agreements from the owners of the structures or commit to maintaining <br />a 200' buffer between the structures and mining activity. <br />DRMS discussed some additional permitting questions/adequacy issues with the Sessions after the site tour. This <br />concluded the inspection and DRMS left the site at approximately 1545. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: Doug & Patricia Sessions <br />OPERATOR: Same as above <br />STREET: 39416 Hwy 34 - PCB Box 385 <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP: Wray CCU 80758 <br />cc: IF CE <br />F BL <br />F FS <br />F HW <br />IF HMWMD (CH) <br />IF SE <br />F WQCD (CH) <br />F OTHER
