(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: M-1982-189 <br />INSPECTION DATE: 1/13/10 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: -F.CS <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This was a routine monitoring inspection for the Hornung Pit, a Kit Carson County 110c sand and gravel <br />permit, conducted by Eric Scott of DRMS. DRMS traveled with Kit Carson Road and Bridge representative <br />Walt Isenbart to the site, and observed the site with him at approximately 1430. The permit sign was present <br />but in rather poor condition with some missing letters/numbers, and should be repaired. There were no permit <br />boundary markers present. The sign will need to be repaired and appropriate permit boundary markers places to <br />define the extent of the permit area. <br />Kit Carson County currently has 3 acres permitted at this location, however due to a misunderstanding the site <br />was mined as if it were a full 9.9 acres. Because the extent of the disturbance clearly is over the 3 acre <br />permitted area, this is a violation of the existing permit. A complete amendment to the permit to expand the <br />affected area from 3 to 9.9 acres must be submitted to the Division by March 30, 2010 to avoid possible <br />enforcement actions by the Mined Land Reclamation Board. If the disturbed area is greater than 9.9 acres the <br />county will need to convert this site to a 112c permit. Because the disturbance is located well away from any <br />other structures or features, and no other modifications to the permit should be required, the amendment process <br />should be relatively simple. <br />No other issues were observed during this inspection. <br />Photo 1- representative photo of Hornung Pit taken looking southeast from the pit entrance.
