(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: M-1995-021 <br />INSPECTION DATE: 21 Sept 2010 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: D82_ <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 20 miles southwest of Hartsel, and just south of Elevenmile Reservoir <br />near the intersection of County Roads 59 and 890. The file lists borrow material as the commodity of interest. <br />The total permit area is 9.9 acres, and the post-mining land use is described as rangeland. No bond is held as the <br />operator is a government entity. The site shares a common boundary with another Park County site, the Chaparral <br />2 Pit. <br />There was no activity at the site at the time of the inspection, but there was evidence of fairly recent activity. <br />Equipment on site included a dozer, screen, and two small portable conveyors. There were also two sheds and <br />port-a-lets. <br />No problems were observed. An appropriate sign is posted at the mine entrance, and the permit boundaries are <br />adequately marked. <br />All highwalls are sloped 3:1 or thereabouts, no erosional problems were seen, and no adverse impacts to the <br />hydrologic balance are evident. The topsoil stockpile appears a bit small for the site so upon closure some topsoil <br />might have to be imported. <br />The operator had recently inquired about notification required for the use of explosives at the site. Since the use <br />of explosives is not currently part of the mine plan, this will have to be noticed as a Technical Revision in <br />accordance with Construction Materials Rule 1.9. The operator also must meet the requirements of Rule 6.5(4), <br />by providing an appropriate engineering analysis to demonstrate that off-site areas will not be adversely affected <br />by blasting. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: David Kintz <br />OPERATOR: Park County <br />STREET: P.O.
