(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: P-2008-046 <br />INSPECTION DATE: 5/12/2009 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS THM <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This inspection was conducted as part of the normal program established by the Colorado Division of Reclamation, <br />Mining and Safety. The ASMO RD&D Project is a Mineral Prospecting site located approximately 25 miles west of <br />Rio Blanco, Colorado southwest of Piceance Creek Road. Rob Arcia was the AMSO representative present during <br />the inspection. <br />The purpose of the inspection was to observe the current conditions/progress at the site. AMSO recently submitted a <br />request to modify the currently approved pilot project configuration and increase the overall surface disturbance to <br />approximately 11.3 acres. <br />The overall appearance of the site was organized and free of trash. The nets above evaporation pit on the test pad <br />were intact and appeared to be in good condition. During the inspection all proposed well pads were constructed and <br />interim reclamation was observed on all well pads. Excavation of the footings for the test facilities were in progress <br />on the test pad during the inspection. <br />All topsoil stockpiles appeared to be stabilized with adequate amounts of geo-textile matting and revegetation. No <br />evidence of erosion or off site damage from erosion was noted. <br />Very few weeds were observed within the permit area during the inspection. This is not considered an issue and is <br />noted to use as a tool to monitor the future success of the operator's weed management plan during future <br />inspections. <br />No problems or violations were observed during the inspection. <br />Photos that show the conditions observed during the May 12, 2010 inspection are included at the end of this 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. 970-241-2042. <br />I & E Contact Address cc: <br />NAME: Roger Day X BLM <br />OPERATOR: AMSO, LLC ?
