(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: M-1996-060 <br />INSPECTION DATE: 6/25/09 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: ECS _ <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This was an inspection prompted by a letter from an adjacent property owner concerned about potential off-site <br />damage as a result of activities of the Hall Irwin Firestien Pit operation. The Firestien Pit is an active 112c sand <br />and gravel operation located immediately to the south and west of the subject property. DRMS met with site <br />representative Jim McFarland of Hall Irwin, and property owners Anthony and Lisa Antuna on the subject <br />property at approximately 0930 and toured the area with them. <br />The subject property is located at 12598 Weld County Road 64.5 Greeley, CO 80631 and is immediately <br />adjacent to the Firestien Pit which is located on the south and west sides of the property. The concern was <br />regarding a small "sinkhole" located in a stock corral area on the south part of the property. The sinkhole <br />appeared in the last week of May 2009 and was approximately three feet across and three feet deep. The hole <br />has not grown any larger or deeper since it first appeared, and no other holes have been observed on the subject <br />property or the Hall Irwin property to the south. The property owners state that there are no underground <br />utilities in the area, and that to their knowledge, the ground in that area has never been disturbed by any kind of <br />excavation or other activities. <br />It is not readily apparent what the cause of the sinkhole is at this time, but at this point, it appears to be an <br />isolated incident, and doesn't seem to be getting any worse. Mr. McFarland offered that Hall Irwin would fill <br />the hole even though the cause is undetermined at this time. It was agreed that Hall Irwin would fill the hole <br />and the matter would be resolved unless further subsidence activity is observed that would require additional <br />investigation. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />Jim McFarland <br />Hall Irwin <br />30264 th Ave <br />Greeley CO 80631 <br />Property Owner Address <br />Anthony Antuna <br />12598 WCR 641/2 <br />Greeley CO 80631
