PERMIT #: M-1979-102 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: DMC <br />INSPECTION DATE: September 13, 2010 <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This inspection was conducted as part of the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (DRMS) normal <br />monitoring program. Photographs are included at the end of this report to illustrate the conditions observed during the <br />inspection. <br />The Kagie Gravel Pit lies approximately 30 miles east of Hamilton and is accessed from CR 29. <br />A mine identification sign was observed at the entrance to the site, but the sign is dilapidated and inadequate. The sign <br />must be improved or replaced. Pursuant to Rule 3.1.12 the Operator shall place at the entrance to the mine site a sign that <br />is clearly visible from the access road containing the name of the Operator, a statement that a reclamation permit has been <br />issued for the operation, and the permit number. This has been noted as a problem. <br />Adequate boundary markers were not observed during this inspection. Pursuant to Rule 3.1.12 the boundaries of the <br />affected area must be marked by monuments or other markers that are clearly visible and adequate to delineate such <br />boundaries. For 110 limited impact operations the permit boundary is considered the affected area. This has been noted as <br />a problem. <br />Two fuel tanks, one containing unleaded fuel and the other diesel, were observed in the southwest portion of the parking <br />and equipment storage area near the scale house that lacked any secondary containment. This has also been noted as a <br />problem in this inspection report. <br />The current financial warranty amount of $5,774.50 held by DRMS for this site, which was calculated in July, 1994, was <br />based on a maximum amount of 5 acres unreclaimed at any one time. The current disturbance observed during this <br />r <br />inspection appears to include nearly all of the 9 permitted acres. An adequate financial warranty has been calculated for <br />this site and the amount currently held is considered inadequate. This has been noted above as a problem. <br />No other problems or violations were noted during this inspection. <br />Inspection Contact Address <br />Bernard Petersen <br />Cross Mountain Ranch Ltd.
