The Smith Pit No. 20 is a I I2c permitted site located off County Road 4 in northern Moffat <br />County. Marvin Moore representative for Moffat County accompanied the inspector on site. <br />The mine identification sign and affected area boundary markers are in place and in compliance with Rule 3.1.12. <br />The sign is located at the entrance to the site where it enters the permit boundary. Permit boundaries are marked by <br />signs that clearly state "permit boundary" and are located at key corners and along de-linear lines as needed. A <br />recently amended area to the south has not been disturbed at this time. <br />Materials were being moved on site of processed into stockpiles. The pit area has no highwalls and temporary <br />slopes are 2:1 to 3:1. The primary excavation appears to be the bed removal of clay materials for mixing into road <br />base. <br />The drainage on site directs all flows to the pit area. There is very minor riling on temporary slopes and inner roads <br />which is not an issue. . No off site drainage issues are noted. <br />The topsoil piles are clearly marked with signage to prevent accidental loss. The piles are vegetated with both the <br />approved seed mix and volunteer species. An area on the eastern edge has been reclaimed. Vegetation is noting as <br />having very good variety and density of grass species. The operator has an extensive weed control plan which is <br />implemented. <br />Some onsite debris is present but this is a working pit area. Fuel tanks were noted as being in a secondary <br />containment structure with good maintenance. The overall site is clean and maintained. <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to Russ Means at the Division of Reclamation, Mining and <br />Safety, Grand Junction Field Office, 101 South 3rd Street, Room 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, phone no. <br />970-241-1117. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: Billy Mack <br />OPERATOR: Moffat County Road and Bridge <br />STREET: P.O.
