(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: M- 1986 -037 <br />INSPECTION DATE: 3 -23 -10 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS GRM <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This inspection is conducted as part of the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety normal <br />monitoring program. Inspectors Russ Means and Dustin Czapla visited the site unescorted. CDOT personnel were <br />unavailable due to other commitments to accompany the inspectors. <br />The BLM- Olathe Pit is located on the east side of Transfer Road and 5425 Road. The mine identification sign is in <br />place and in compliance with Rule 3.1.12. The sign is located on a rock at the entrance to the site where it enters the <br />permit boundary. Permit boundaries are marked by t -posts and large rock barriers that are easily identifiable. <br />The site is for intermittent use by the Department of Transportation for road repairs in the area. No recent signs of <br />activity are observed. No equipment is on site. There are no stockpiles of noteworthy materials, just some small <br />truck load size boulder piles. <br />No reclamation efforts have been undertaken. However, due to the small :nature of the disturbance area and <br />topography this is not an issue. No noxious weeds are noted. No erosion or sedimentation issues are observed. <br />While not an issue currently, CDOT needs to be careful that trash and other materials do not become deleterious to <br />the permitted area. A large concrete block is noted intermingled with natural stone as well as some bale wire and <br />other trash. The inspector also notes dead animal carcasses from hunters. While not CDOT's doing, the debris does <br />have an overall negative impact on the permit area and should be monitored so it does not become a trash dump for <br />others. <br />No issues or problems noted at this time. <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 <br />NAME: Jason Smith <br />OPERATOR: CDOT <br />STREET: 222 S. 6' St. RM 317 <br />CITY /STATE /ZIP: Grand Junction, CO 81501 <br />cc: <br />❑ CE <br />❑ BLM: Uncompahgre Field Office <br />❑ FS <br />❑ HW <br />❑ HMVATMD (CH) <br />❑ WQCD (CH) <br />❑ OTHER: <br />
