The Select Materials pit is located approximately 5 miles east of Fort Lupton, <br />Colorado off of County Road 12. The permit area encompasses 38.4 acres. <br />The permit sign and boundary markers were posted in accordance with Rule 3.1.12. No mining activities were <br />taking place at the time of the inspection. The Operator is excavating sand from a hillside in the southwest <br />corner of the permit area. Mining is currently progressing to the east. The extent of the disturbed area was <br />measured using a Geo XT GPS unit. The total disturbed area was found to be 10.07 acres; this included the <br />stockpile area, maintenance area, and the excavation area. The Division holds a financial warranty in the amount <br />of $7,500; this amount is adequate to reclaim the disturbed area as per the Reclamation Plan. <br />The field that lies to the north and east of the active mining area has been planted with perennial rye. The <br />Operator mows the field to control weeds; no weeds were noted in the field. The inspector did note Russian <br />thistle along the edge of the disturbed area. The Operator has had difficulty mowing this area, because the sandy <br />terrain prohibits the mower from operating along the edge of the excavation. The excavation face was stable and <br />showed no signs of erosion. Mining of the site is progressing according to the Mining Plan. <br />This concluded the inspection. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: Bob Oman <br />OPERATOR: Select Materials <br />STREET: P-0- Box 980 <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP: Fort I canton C-0 60!91 <br />cc: r CE <br />F 131- <br />F FS <br />r HW <br />F HMWMD (CH) <br />F SE <br />F WQCD (CH) <br />F OTHER
