(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: M-2000-088 <br />INSPECTION DATE: _ 21 Sept 2010 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: DB.2_ <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 14 miles south of Fairplay and about a mile north of Antero Reservoir. <br />The DRMS database lists the commodities of interest as sand, aggregate, and gravel. The total permit area is 40 <br />acres, and the post-mining land use is described as rangeland. The Division holds a bond in the amount of <br />$15,800 for the site. <br />No problems were observed, although the sign is not located at the actual entrance to the mine site. The site was <br />not active at the time of the inspection, and annual report states no activity in the past year. Equipment on site <br />included a front-end loader and a plastic water tank. <br />The excavation does not expose ground water, there appears to be no adverse impacts to the hydrologic balance, <br />and no erosional problems are evident. The reclamation plan calls for topsoil removal and stockpiling adjacent to <br />the mining cells, but no topsoil stockpiles were evident, so topsoil may have to be imported for reclamation. <br />Based on photos from the last inspection in 2005, there appears to have been limited activity in the past five years. <br />Since the mining plan states that only about 4 acres will be disturbed at any one time, the financial warranty <br />currently held appears adequate. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: Robert Regester <br />OPERATOR: R&R Regester Enterprises, Inc. <br />STREET: 844 Beaver Pond Dr. <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP: Divide.
