(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: M-1982-186 <br />INSPECTION DATE: 1/13/10 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: ECS <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This was a routine monitoring inspection for the Beeson Pit, M-1982-186, a Kit Carson County 110c sand and <br />gravel permit, conducted by Eric Scott of DRMS. DRMS traveled with Kit Carson Road and Bridge <br />representative Walt Isenbart to the site, and observed the site with him at approximately 1530. The permit sign <br />was present but in rather poor condition with some missing letters/numbers, and should be repaired. There were <br />no permit boundary markers present. The sign will need to be repaired and appropriate permit boundary <br />markers places to define the extent of the permit area. <br />Kit Carson County currently has 9.5 acres permitted at this location. Although no permit boundary markers <br />were present to verify, it appeared that the extent of the affected areas (which includes access roads and topsoil <br />stockpiles) would be very near, if not over, the maximum 9.5 allowable acres. The County will need to replace <br />the permit boundary markers as appropriate and demonstrate to the Division that the affected area is within the <br />currently permitted area. If the affected area is over 9.5 acres, this is a violation of the existing permit and <br />would require immediate corrective action in the form of a permit amendment or 112c conversion to avoid <br />possible enforcement actions by the Mined Land Reclamation Board. If the disturbed area exceeds 9.5 acres, <br />the permit will need to be amended. If the disturbed area is greater than 9.9 acres the county will need to <br />convert this site to a 112c permit. <br />No other issues were observed during this inspection. <br />Photo 1- representative photo of Beeson Pit taken looking southwest from the northeast corner of the pit.
