This inspection was conducted as part of the Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety's 4-year <br />monitoring program. Present at the inspection was Kate Pickford, DRMS, and Butch Corsentino, nearby <br />landowner. Weather at the time of the inspection was clear, calm and approximately 45 degrees. <br />2. The site is accessed off of Hwy 10, east of the City of Walsenburg, and is located approximately 1/< mile. <br />off the road to the north on top of a hill. There is a locked gate at the Hwy 10 entrance. No sign is <br />posted at the site entrance (see page 3). The site consists of an area where excavation has occurred <br />into the sides of two hills. The excavated slopes have not been graded for final reclamation. Some <br />stockpiles of material are located at the site. Spotty vegetation is present on the stockpiles and on the <br />excavated slopes. <br />.3. The most recent annual report submitted for the site in 2007 indicated that the city did not intend to <br />conduct mining or reclamation activity at the site for the upcoming year. The 2008 annual report was <br />not submitted to the Division, but it appears that no activities have been conducted at the site during <br />this year either. If the city intends to use the site for further gravel resources, but does not intend to <br />conduct any mining within the next year, it should file for a temporary cessation of the permit. The <br />allowable period for temporary cessation is five years, without Board approval. If the city does not <br />intend to use the site for additional gravel resources, it should either reclaim the site or transfer the <br />permit to another entity that intends to conduct mining on the site (see page 3). <br />Cc: ?
