(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: M-1977-365 <br />INSPECTION DATE: 21 SPpt 2010 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: DR2_ <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This was a routine inspection conducted by David Bird of DRMS. The Operator was contacted but did not attend <br />the inspection. The site is located about nine miles east of Hartsel, and immediately east of the Chaparral <br />Meadows General Store alongside County Road 92. The commodity of interest is sand and gravel. The total <br />permit area is 4.0 acres, and the post-mining land use is described as rangeland. No bond is held as the operator <br />is a government entity. <br />This site has been in reclamation for several years and is nearly ready for release. The only issue that needs to be <br />resolved before release is some augmentation of the revegetation. The revegetation has not become established to <br />the level that the Division would approve for release. The vegetative cover over the disturbed area appears to be <br />only about 50-75 percent, whereas on the surrounding natural areas the vegetative cover appears to be about 90 <br />percent. <br />The Division recommends that the operator conduct an additional application of revegetation, perhaps <br />accompanied by some form of enhancement such as mulching. After the augmented revegetation has become <br />established to the desired cover, the Operator can request release. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: David Kintz <br />OPERATOR: Park County <br />STREET: P.O.
