(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: M-1980-94.5 <br />INSPECTION DATE: Julia 9nnA INSPECTOR=S INITIALS: nR9 <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This inspection was conducted by David Bird of DRMS as result of Succession of Operator notices filed for mines <br />owned by Robinson Brick Company for transfer of ownership to General Shale Brick, Inc. Present during the <br />inspection were Greg Knell and Jason McGraw of Robinson Brick. The site is located about 1 mile south of <br />South Platte Reservoir in Douglas County. <br />Material mined at this site consists of clay that is ultimately used to produce brick. The rock is generally poorly <br />consolidated but occasional blasting, if needed, is handled by an independent contractor. <br />The mine operates on the same schedule as Robinson's other properties. Rock is excavated during a <br />"campaign", a period of several weeks to months during which material is stripped from the pit and stockpiled <br />on site for later removal and transport to processing facilities for production of bricks. Removal of the product <br />occurs intermittently, over time frames up to several years, as dictated by market demands. <br />A couple of small relatively recent product stockpiles were present on site containing an estimated 5,000 yards <br />About 600 feet north of the northern permit boundary, the operator is treating a small perennial discharge, <br />estimated at 10-15 gpm, from old mine workings in the hogback. The treated discharge is land applied on <br />ground that is also north of and off the permit boundary. <br />The site is clean and maintained in good condition. Signs and markers are adequate, and no equipment, <br />structures, or refuse are present. Storm water controls appear to be functioning properly, the hydrologic <br />balance appears to be unimpacted, and no erosional issues or noxious weed problems are apparent. <br />The financial warranty of $236,538 currently on file is adequate. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: Marvin Myers, Jr. <br />OPERATOR: General Shale Brick.
