PERMIT #: M-1983-158 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: GRM <br />INSPECTION DATE: August 3, 2010 <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This inspection was conducted as part of the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety normal monitoring <br />program. The Cadgene Pit is a 110c permitted gravel pit located northwest of Redvale, Colorado at the end of 35.00 <br />Road. The operator, M.J. Cadgene accompanied the inspector on site. <br />The mine identification sign and affected area boundary markers are in place and in compliance with Rule 3.1.12. The <br />sign is located at the entrance to the site at the corner of HH Road and 35.00 Road where it enters the Cadgene <br />property. Permit boundaries are marked by t-posts and geological features that are easily identifiable. <br />The access road to the mine is well maintained. No erosion or drainage issues are observed. <br />The pit has not changed much since the last inspection in 2003. No new excavations are observed. Material stockpiled <br />has been used primarily for the Cadgene ranch roads and occasional neighbor sales. No equipment was on site during <br />the visit but evidence of stockpile utilization was noted. <br />Stormwater that collects in this area is contained on site and quickly percolates into the pit floor. A few small puddles <br />were noted but no major retention issues were observed. No erosion or sedimentation issues are noted at this time. <br />The area has had heavy monsoonal rains in the area and it is noted as having held up well from recent precipitation <br />events. <br />All berms at the permit boundaries are noted as being in good repair. No new impacts from stormwater events are <br />noted at this time. <br />The entire area in proximity to the permitted site is infested with knapweed. The operator does regular spraying within <br />the pit to control the weeds. A small patch was noted along the access road and on a stockpile of pea gravel. Care <br />should be taken to retreat these areas, especially the pea gravel that could be shipped off site. <br />Revegetation in disturbed areas is volunteer in nature and sparse. It may benefit the operator to start reclamation on <br />mined out areas to reduce the reclamation liability. If areas are fully reclaimed they can be released under a partial <br />release while still maintaining the active permit in other areas. <br />The bond was last recalculated on this site in 2003 at $19,600.00 bond. DRMS will update the bond separately from this <br />report. Since there has been very little change the update will use all previously noted tasks and volumes. <br />No issues or problems are noted at this time. <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to Russ Means at the Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety, <br />Grand Junction Field Office, 101 South 3rd Street, Room 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, phone no. 970-241-1117. <br />Inspection Contact Address <br />M J Cadgene <br />P.O.
