The Mantle Pit is a I I2c permitted site located off County Road 16 in western Moffat County. <br />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. <br />Stockpiled materials were noted on site of processed materials. A berm around the stockpile prevents erosional loss <br />of product and unauthorized disturbance of the piles. No equipment was observed on site. The pit area has no <br />highwalls and temporary slopes are 2:1 to 3:1. <br />Recent rains allow the inspector to observe stormwater controls. The drainage on site di:rects all flows to the pit <br />area. There is very minor riling on temporary slopes and inner roads which is not an issue. The inspector noted the <br />collection of stormwater in the pit floor and evidence that it is percolating into the ground as designed. No off site <br />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. A few thistles were noted in the perimeter ditch. Evidence of spraying <br />was noted as there were dead plants in the same general area. The operator has an extensive weed control plan <br />which is implemented. The weeds are noted for the reference of the operator for spot spraying and not considered an <br />issue at this time. <br />Overall the site is clear of any debris. No fuel tanks were noted. The site is very clean and well 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 cc: <br />X CE: Marvin Moore <br />NAME: Billy Mack ?
