Also <br />present for the inspection were Clint Mehring and Jesse Stackhouse of Washington County. The Fassler Gravel <br />Pit is located approximately 1 mile south and 4 miles west of Akron, Colorado. The site is permitted for 9.9 acres. <br />This site was inspected as part of the Division's regular monitoring program. The weather conditions at the time <br />of the inspection were windy and overcast; there was a light layer of snow on the ground. The permit sign and <br />three of four boundary markers were posted in accordance with Rule 3.1.12. The northwest boundary marker <br />was missing; please see the last page for corrective actions. There was no mining taking place at the time of <br />the inspection and no mining equipment was present. Mining at the Fassler Gravel Pit has reached 9.9 acres; <br />the Operator was advised not to mine further in any direction. Mr. Mehring indicated that Washington County <br />would like to expand the permit boundary for this site; this can be done by converting the current 1 10c permit <br />to a 112c. The procedure for converting a permit has been enclosed in this inspection report. Reclamation <br />activities have not begun at this site. <br />The Operator has segregated the topsoil and stockpiled it along the southern permit boundary. The topsoil <br />stockpile has annual weeds growing on it; it appeared stable and did not show any signs of erosion. The pit <br />highwalls have been graded to 2:1 or less. There is a single product stockpile located near the center of the pit. <br />The Operator was advised to begin reclamation activities; this would include final grading, replacement of <br />topsoil, and seeding. <br />This concluded the inspection. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: Clint Mehring <br />OPERATOR: Washington County <br />STREET: 51 West 2nd StrPPt <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP: Akron (-0,807?0
