- <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: NA-19A9-010 <br />INSPECTION DATE: 11.419.40A INSPECTOR=S INITIALS: MA(' <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This inspection was conducted by Michael Cunningham of DBMS. Also present, was Mike Roberts representing <br />Pete Lien and Sons, Inc. The inspection was part of the Division's regular monitoring program. The Weaver <br />Quarry is located 9 miles north of Laporte, Colorado off of County Road 72. The permit area encompasses 77.1 <br />acres. <br />The permit sign and boundary markers were posted in accordance with Rule 3.1.12. No mining was taking <br />place at the time of the inspection and there was no mining equipment present at the site. The maximum <br />allowed acreage for disturbance is 21 acres. The Operator has reclaimed the majority of the site; approximately <br />2 acres remain disturbed. The disturbance consists of a small excavation, which is approximately 3 cubic yards <br />in size. In addition, a portion of the access road that lies to the south of the excavation has a lack of vegetative <br />growth. Reclamation of the site has been carried out in accordance with the Reclamation Plan. The slopes <br />have been graded to a slope of 2:1. Vegetation is well established throughout the site; the inspector noted <br />stands of little bluestem, sideoats grama, and blue grama. <br />According to Mr. Roberts, mining operations ceased in 1995. Mr. Roberts stated that the Operator wishes to <br />keep the Reclamation Permit active, so as to resume mining operations when market conditions are favorable. <br />This has been cited as a problem and will require corrective action by the Operator. Rule 1.13.5(1) requires that <br />the Operator file notice of Temporary Cessation when a mining operation temporarily ceases production for <br />180 days or more. <br />This concluded the inspection. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: Rob Kisner <br />OPERATOR: Pete Lien and Sons Inc- <br />STREET: P n Box 19A1 <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP: Fort Collins.
