The Barlow Pit is located in <br />Morgan County, approximately 3 miles east of Fort Morgan, Colorado. The site is permitted for 40 acres. <br />This inspection was conducted as part of the Division's regular monitoring program. The permit sign and <br />boundary markers were posted in accordance with Rule 3.1.12. There was no mining taking place at the time of <br />the inspection. Dredging of the pit is currently progressing to the west. The dredge was docked on the west bank <br />of the pit. The pit is approximately 14 acres in size and contains exposed groundwater. The Operator has <br />submitted a copy of a Substitute Water Supply Plan to the Division. The area north of the pit is used to screen <br />the sand and store product stockpiles. The Division holds a bond in the amount of $6,000.00, which has been <br />determined to be sufficient to complete reclamation. <br />The Operator is backfilling the pit along the southern shore using concrete rubble from offsite. Rule 3.1.5(9) <br />requires Operator's that are backfilling using inert structural fill generated outside of the approved permit area to <br />provide the Division with a notice of the proposed backfill activity. The Division reviewed the permit file and <br />could not find a record of the backfilling activity in the approved reclamation permit or a notice from the <br />Operator. This has been cited as a problem and will require corrective action by the Operator. A copy of the <br />Construction Materials Rules pertaining to the requirements of the notice has been enclosed. <br />This concluded the inspection. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: Doua Dowlina <br />OPERATOR: Dorn Ready Mix Corp. <br />STREET: 19671 Rd R 7 <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP: Fart Mc)rgnn.
