OBSERVATIONS
The Division conducted an inspection of the site as part of sites to be inspected during
the fiscal years 2009-2010.The site is very old 112 sand and gravel operation covering
231 acres, located approximately 1.5 miles west of Canon city. Site was active at the
time of the inspection. Post mining land use is range land. The total permitted acres is
231.The current financial warranty for the site is $532,385.00, for a total of 130 acres
to be affected at any given time. High Wall area west 30 acres, final pit area central 40
acres, sediment pond borrow area 71 acres.( 10 acres of the final pit constitutes part of
the 71 acres)
1) The operation was amended in 1997 from 30 acres to 100 acres.
2) In 2000, permit was amended by increasing the area from 100 acres to 231 acres.
Final pit configuration to act as sediment basin to intercept and contain all
surface flows from the higher areas. Existing lower sediment basins were dry at the
time of the inspection.
3) Drilling benches range from 30-40 feet in height. Blast monitor was approved as
submitted in Technical revision 43.
4) Crushing and processing includes a rip rap separation grizzly primary jaw crusher,
triple deck screen and secondary cone crusher with supporting conveyers for
material stockpiles.
5) No top soil on site to support reclamation.
The entire permit affected area was driven and expected. The operator had properly posted
the permit boundary markers, which were all visible from the pit and associated disturbed
area. Drove to the western most extension of the permit area. Powder and cap magazines
were properly secured.
Sediment control berms along the access road were found to be in good repair. Large
quantities of processed material were noted along the main pit area. A dozer was pushing
shot granite from the lower benches at the time of the inspection. High walls were
stable.
when the site was last inspected in 2003 after the completion of the sediment basins, no
problem was identified.
During this inspection the Division noticed a new office structure that was not added to
the permit are through a technical revision. Since the post mining land use for the area
is Range Land, the operator will need to provide the dimensions of the structure (
Drawings) and the material they are constructed from, any concrete footings that would
need to be removed must also be included. Based on all the current maps that are provided
for the permit area, these structures appeared to be within the current permit area. If
that is the case, the cost to demolish these structures and achieve the post mining land
use of range land for the area is needed. In lieu of that the operator can also provide
from the county, a post mining land use for the office and support area as Heavy
Industrial /Commercial, and once such a designation is achieved, the operator can submit
an acreage release request from the Division and remove these areas from the permit. The
division would like this matter resolved no later than 9/30/10
