Permit #: M-2001-090 <br />Inspector's Initials: DMC <br />Inspection Date: 11/9/2010 <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This inspection was conducted in response to the Succession of Operators application submitted to the Division of <br />Reclamation, Mining and Safety (DRMS) on October 14, 2010. Charlie MacArthur was present during the inspection. <br />Photographs are included at the end of this report in order to illustrate some of the conditions observed during this <br />inspection. <br />The River Valley Resource site is located approximately 7.5 miles south of Steamboat Springs, and accessed from Hwy. <br />40. The site was issued a DRMS permit in 2003. At the time of this inspection, the site was still undisturbed by any <br />mining activity. A $270,200.00 financial warranty is currently held by DRMS for the site. This amount has been reviewed, <br />and is still considered adequate for the site. The estimated financial warranty amount is based on a maximum of 37 <br />acres disturbed at any given time. <br />The affected area boundary was clearly marked by survey lathe and fencing during this inspection. A mine identification <br />sign, however, was not observed. The new operator shall place an adequate mine identification sign at the entrance to <br />the mine site in accordance with Rule 3.1.12 (1). <br />No other problems or violations were noted during this inspection. <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to Dustin Czapla at the Division of Reclamation, Mining and <br />Safety, Grand Junction Field Office, 101 South 3rd Street, Room 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 83.501, phone number <br />(970) 243-6299. <br />Inspection and Enforcement Contact <br />Charles MacArthur <br />Alpine Aggregates, LLC <br />1878 13th Street <br />Steamboat Springs, CO <br />80487 <br />Cc: .
