The Peroulis Snake River Pit is a 112c application under review by Division of <br />Reclamation Mining and Safety (DRMS). David Zehner, representative for Precision Excavation met the inspector <br />on site. <br />The required public notice per Rule 1.6.2(b) was observed at the access point posted on a wooden pallet just off the <br />main road. Currently the proposed permit boundaries are delineated by grade stakes at key corners that surround the <br />proposed area. Permanent t-posts or other means should be used to clearly delineate the permit boundaries prior to <br />any disturbance on site. <br />Overall the site is flat slightly rolling terrain. Drainage is gradually to the north. A drainage ditch is in place on the <br />far west end of the proposed project area that directs stormwater from the county road away from the collection <br />ditch. A 16" CMP drainage pipe is installed across the county road at this point. The applicant has addressed the <br />impacts to the drainage within the application and will be reviewed. <br />Vegetation and soils appear to be depicted accurately within the application. Primary vegetation is low lying <br />sagebrush, prickly pear cactus and rabbit brush intermingled with native grasses. Cheat grass is prevalent across the <br />entire region but no other undesirable vegetation was noted. <br />No utilities or other man-made structures were observed. No noteworthy pre-exisiting trash or debris was observed. <br />Overall, Map C-1, Exisiting Conditions appears to represent the site very well. No issues or problems are noted that <br />need to be addressed. The Public Notice for the application should start within the next ten days. <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 />?
