(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: M-2008-092 <br />INSPECTION DATE: 03/05/09 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: ECS <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This was a routine pre-operational site inspection conducted by Eric Scott of DRMS for the Morton Lakes site. The DRMS <br />representative met with operator representatives Bill Timmons and Mike Hart near the site and accompanied them on a tour around the <br />site at approximately 1400. The site entrance is located off of Highway 52 on the south side of the road approximately 1 mile west of <br />Highway 85, and is accessed via a private gate. The site gate was marked, and the required notice posting was present. <br />This site is topographically flat and is currently in use primarily as pasture land and cropland. There are also several buildings around <br />an existing residence that will be used as the mine office and shop area. The pasture areas of the site are vegetated and largely weed <br />free, and the riparian corridor has not been historically disturbed. The site will continue to be used as pasture and cropland until <br />mining of the area commences. The DRMS representative toured the site with the site representatives, discussed some of the minor <br />adequacy issues with the application, and how they might be best addressed. <br />The only issues noted during the site visit that will need to be addressed are: the Brighton Ditch, which is present along the south edge <br />of the site until it joins Big Dry Creek, and an irrigation well and well house present near the southwest corner of the permit area, are <br />not present on the current site maps provided to DRMS. These features need to be added to or labeled on the site maps in the <br />application package where appropriate. No other issues were noted during the pre-operational inspection. <br />Permit boundaries should be clearly marked by the operators before operations begin <br />This concluded the inspection and DRMS left the site at approximately 1530. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />Bill Timmons <br />Ready Mixed Concrete Company <br />14585 Brighton Road <br />Brighton CO 80601 <br />cc: <br />Mike Hart <br />Hart Environmental <br />PO Box 1303 <br />Boulder CO 80306
