(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: M-1981-179 <br />INSPECTION DATE: 9/29/09 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: ECS <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This was a routine monitoring inspection for the Meckelberg Pit #1, an active Yuma County 112c sand and <br />gravel permit, conducted by Eric Scott of DRMS. DRMS met Yuma County Road and Bridge representatives <br />Howard McGinnis, and Kent Twiss at the site, and observed the site with them at approximately 1045. <br />Yuma County has 113 acres currently permitted at this location. The mining site identification sign was <br />observed at the site entrance, and the extent of the site was defined by painted steel T-posts and existing fences. <br />Mining is progressing according to the approved mine plan, and topsoil and overburden piles are stable and <br />vegetated. The buffer zones between the road and creek beds have been well maintained. All activity is <br />currently on the south side of the intermittent stream channel. The disturbed area in the southeast corner of the <br />permit was mined out long ago, and has been well sloped and revegetated. This area of the permit would likely <br />be eligible for release if the county wanted to submit a request for an acreage reduction. No problems were <br />noted during the inspection. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />Howard McGinnis - Yuma County Road and Bridge <br />1310 South Blake Street <br />Wray, CO 80758
