OBSERVATIONS <br />This, inspection was conducted by Michael Cunningham of the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety. <br />Wayne Brantely of;Proneer. Sand Company, Inc. was.present during the inspection. The Ingleside Quarry is <br />located approximately 5-miles south of Livermore, CO in Larimer County. The site is permitted-for. 86 acres <br />with a'maximum allowed disturbance of 21 -acres at any,given time. <br />All operations and conditions at the -site appeared to be in compliance with regulations. and within-the <br />parameters of the mine ;plane. The.perinit_ sign and boundarymarkers were posted in accordance with Rule <br />13..J.12.. All mining disturbance was within the permit boundary. No mining activities were:taking place at the <br />time of the inspection. Mining is progressing from north to south along the hogback ridge-,, with--the removal of <br />material proceeding east to west. Mining activities are to remain 50 feet or greater from the'top of the ridge. A <br />,.visual. inspection confirmed-that the Operator has maintained a 50 foot buffer between. the'top of the ridge and <br />.`the western edge of the excavation. At the north end of the ridge, the Operator has reclaimed several :acres of the <br />bench area by filling the benches in with fines. The Division currently holds a financial warranty in;the amount <br />of $60,200; this amount is adequate to complete reclamation. <br />The disturbed area was not. measured during this inspection. However, a visual estimate corif rms that-the total <br />disturbed area is less than 21 acres.- The mine face appeared to be stable and did not show 'any signs. of-erosion. <br />Pre-law disturbance is evident in, the area directly to the south of the active mining area. These old' quarry sites <br />have reclaimed themselves'to an extent and have established native vegetation growing throughout. <br />This concluded the inspection. <br />cc: r CE <br />F BC <br />F FS <br />r HW <br />r HMWMD.
