The following inspection tonics were identified as having Problems or Possible Violations. OPERATORS
SHOULD READ THE FOLLOWING PAGES CAREFULLY IN ORDER TO ASSURE COMPLIANCE
WITH THE TERMS OF THE PERMIT AND APPLICABLE RULES AND REGULATIONS. If a
Possible Violation is indicated, you will be notified under separate cover as to when the Mined Land
Reclamation Board will consider possible enforcement action.
INSPECTION TOPIC: Topsoil, Reclamation Plan
PROBLEM:
During the inspection, it was discovered that there is little to no topsoil stockpiled at the site, which would be used for reclamation of the
site. This is a problem related to 3.1.9 (1) of the Construction Materials Rules and Regulations, for failure to remove and segregate
topsoil from other spoil and/or a problem related to 34-32.5-116 of the Colorado Revised Statutes, for failure to perform the prescribed
reclamation plan.
CORRECTIVE ACTIONS:
a. Submit a map indicating where topsoil is stored at the site, if any, and document the amount of topsoil stored in each stockpile along
with photographic documentation of the piles.
And/Or
b. If the County finds they have insufficient topsoil, they will need to import the proper amount of growth medium into the site. To
allow this, the Operator must file a Technical Revision to the reclamation plan to account for this activity. The Technical Revision must
include a backfill notice as described in Rule 3.1.5 (9) and outlined in the body of the inspection report. The fee for a Technical Revision
is $216.00
CORRECTIVE ACTION DUE DATE: 10/29/10
