(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: M-1981-250 <br />INSPECTION DATE: 3/23/10 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: _ CS <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This was an inspection of the Brand Pit, an active Yuma County 112c sand and gravel permit, conducted by <br />Eric Scott of DRMS as a result of an acreage reduction request submitted by Yuma County. DRMS met Yuma <br />County Road and Bridge representative Howard McGinnis at the site, and observed the site with him at <br />approximately 1330. <br />Yuma County has proposed releasing 71 unaffected acres currently permitted at this location due to proximity <br />to manmade structures such as gas wells and utility lines. The mining site identification sign was observed at <br />the active site entrance, and the proposed new extent of the site was defined by painted steel T-posts and <br />existing fences. <br />It was determined during this inspection that none of the acreage to be released has ever been impacted by <br />mining activities at the site. Two underground utility lines were observed running along the east side of the <br />former permit boundary. Yuma County will revise the acreage reduction request map to show a 200' offset from <br />these utilities, and the permit boundary will be adjusted accordingly. <br />No other issues were noted during this inspection, therefore, as soon as DRMS receives the revised permit <br />boundary map the acreage reduction will be approved and processed. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />Howard McGinnis - Yuma County Road and Bridge <br />1310 South Blake Street <br />Wray, CO 80758
