(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: M-1997-053 <br />INSPECTION DATE: 11/23/2009 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS THM <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This inspection was conducted as part of the normal monitoring program established by the Colorado Division of <br />Reclamation, Mining and Safety. The Clifton Water Gravel Pit is located approximately 6 miles east of Grand <br />Junction, Colorado off of 34 Road. The site is a 112c operation. Ed Settle of Grand Junction Pipe and Supply <br />Company accompanied the inspector during the inspection. <br />The mine identification sign and boundary markers were in place and in compliance with rule 3.1.12. The sign is <br />located on a post at the main entrance on the west side of the gravel mine. <br />The mine was inactive at the time of the inspection. All final grading and earthwork is completed. All slopes <br />appear to be no steeper than the required 3H:1 V. <br />The majority of the required vegetation has been established and is predominately perennial grasses and a variety of <br />shrubs. Some annual weeds are mixed with the desired vegetation but it appears that eventually the desired <br />vegetation will out compete the annual weeds. <br />A few bare patches were observed along the west and northern slopes of the pond. Some additional topsoil and re- <br />seeding of these areas may accelerate re-vegetative success. <br />Photos that show the conditions observed during the November 23, 2009 inspection are included at the end of this <br />report. <br />The financial warranty appears to be adequate at this time. A recalculation of the financial warranty will not be a <br />part of this inspection report. <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to Travis Marshall at the Division of Reclamation, Mining <br />and Safety, Grand Junction Field Office, 101 South 3rd Street, Room 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, phone <br />no. 970-623-5596. <br />I & E Contact Address cc: <br />NAME: Ed Settle <br />OPERATOR: Grand Junction Pipe and Supply Company <br />STREET: P.O.
