The <br />Gilsonite Pit is located west of Fruita, Colorado off of Highway 6 and 50. The site is a I I2c operation with 69.3 <br />permitted acres. Gayle Lyman, a representative of Elam Construction, Inc. was present during the inspection. <br />The mine identification sign was in place and in compliance with rule 3.1.12. The sign is located on the fence at the <br />main entrance to the gravel mine off of Highway 6 and 50. Permit boundary markers in the form of fences <br />surrounding the perimeter of the mine were in place during the inspection. <br />No disturbance has occurred at the mine since the permit issuance. The site was observed to have significant <br />disturbance that occurred prior to it becoming a permitted site. <br />Some tamarisk was observed at various locations within the permit boundary. The infestation was light and is not <br />seen as a problem due to an active weed management plan. The majority of the site is bare or covered with kochia <br />and Russian thistle. <br />Photos that show the conditions observed during the August 27, 2008 inspection are included at the end of this <br />report. <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to Travis Marshall at the Division of Reclamation, Mining <br />and Safety, Grand Junction Field Office, 101 South 3rd Street, Room 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, phone <br />no. 970-241-2042. <br />I & E Contact Address cc: <br />NAME: Gayle Lerman ?
