(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID # M-2009-030 <br />INSPECTION DATE 9/21/09 <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS RCO <br />This was a pre-operation inspection performed by the Division for an application for a new Construction Materials 110c <br />permit. The operator was contacted about the scheduled inspection. The operator's representative named on page one <br />was present during the inspection. The operator is also the landowner. <br />The site is currently utilized, partly to support the operator's agricultural operation and partly in relation to the operator's <br />construction business, with a variety of equipment, materials and parts stored there. The land is mostly level, but the <br />south and west edges slope away toward the nearby natural drainages. The undisturbed portions of the site exhibit <br />sandstone outcropping and sparse vegetation typical of dry rangeland. <br />A recent bulldozer cut on the site revealed the 10-foot thick broken sandstone layer that the operator wishes to mine here. <br />The pit will be excavated beginning in the SE corner and moving generally westerly along the southern edge, and then <br />toward the north. Topsoil will be stripped prior to excavation. Material will be moved by first ripping it by bulldozer then <br />carrying it by loader. The pit slopes will be maintained at a 3:1 gradient or less. Reclamation will be performed <br />concurrently with mining, as space allows. Prior to respreading the topsoil some inert backfill material (construction <br />debris) that is generated offsite may be placed in the pit floor. <br />The operator has an adequate weed control plan already in place through the county. Stormwater runoff control was <br />discussed, and will be implemented during all phases of this operation, due to the potential for sedimentation into one of <br />the nearby creeks. <br />The bond amount has been estimated to be $8,978. <br />No further items were observed during the inspection. Responses to this inspection report should be directed to this <br />inspector at the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety, 691 County Road 233, Suite A-2, Durango, Colorado 81301. <br />(Please note: As of 7/1/08 the Durango Field Office moved to the new address, shown above. Please revise your <br />records as necessary.) <br />I & E Contact Address cc: Steve Shuey, DRMS <br />? CE <br />NAME David Cressler ? BL <br />OPERATOR Coal Bed Creek Construction. Inc. ?
