The La Salle Pit is a 112c application submitted by Montrose County. The proposed <br />final reclamation is noted for commercial / industrial as the site will eventually become a county work yard. <br />The required public notice per Rule 1.6.2(b) was observed at the access point on a fence post just off the main road. <br />Currently the proposed permit boundaries are delineated by fence lines that surround the proposed area. <br />The current land use is agricultural. Pasture lands are irrigated for alfalfa and meadow grasses. Discussions with the <br />applicant's representatives note that irrigation waters to the site will be discontinued. However the field is an end <br />use and. no carrier ditches feed lands downstream. <br />All utilities and manmade structures appear to have been addressed within the application. It is noted that power <br />poles will need to be relocated for proposed access roads to the site which is being addressed with the power <br />company. An older house and ancillary building in the southeast corner of the disturbance area is scheduled for <br />demolition as part of the mining activities. <br />Currently there is a stockpile of rock chips at the southwest corner of the property. The stockpile is product <br />purchased by the County and located there for convenience. No materials have been produced from the site under <br />permit application review. <br />No issues are noted that need further clarifications or corrections as a result of this inspection. <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: Brian Wilson <br />OPERATOR: Montrose County <br />STREET: 161 South Townsend <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP: Montrose, CO 81401 <br /> cc: <br />X CE: Ben Langenfeld <br />?
