(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID # M-1978-066 <br />INSPECTION DATE 9/9/08 <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS RCO <br />This inspection was performed by the Division as part of its monitoring of Construction Materials 112c permits. The operator <br />was contacted about the scheduled inspection. The operator's representative named on page one was present during the <br />inspection. The required permit ID sign and boundary markers are all present. <br />The site is in the active mining stage. Excavation at the site has extended the pit limits as far as possible to the north, west and <br />east. Future excavation will continue to the south. Some pit slope grading has been carried out on the east and west, but <br />those slopes are not fully reclaimed yet. The present limits of the pit allow sufficient maneuvering room for reclamation <br />equipment to reduce the highwalls. <br />No processing is carried out here, but there are stockpiles of pitrun and product in the pit. There are also piles of imported <br />materials: silt/growth medium and cobbles (potato rock) in the pit. These materials are benign, but such importation is not <br />included in the present approved plan. The approved plan should be revised to include such activity, or the importation should <br />cease. If the operator wishes to discuss a technical revision please contact this office. <br />The northern pit wall and the pit floor are dry; no seepage from the nearby concrete-lined ditches or the bentonite-lined pond is <br />occurring as in the past. <br />The site is very clean and orderly. There was no debris or contaminants. There were no noxious weeds or erosion features <br />noted. <br />No further items were observed during the inspection. Responses to this inspection report should be directed to this inspector <br />at the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety, 691 County Road 233, Suite A-2, Durango, Colorado 81301. (Please note: <br />As of 7/1/08 the Durango Field Office moved to the new address shown above Please revise your records as <br />necessary.) <br />I & E Contact Address cc: Steve Shuey, DRMS <br />?
