PERMIT #: M-2011-006 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: ECS <br />INSPECTION DATE: March 10, 2011 <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This was a pre-operational inspection for the Deterding Pit, a proposed Yuma County 112c sand and gravel <br />operation, conducted by Eric Scott of DRMS. DRMS followed Yuma County Road and Bridge representatives <br />Howard McGinnis, and Kent Twiss to the site, and observed the site with them at approximately 1100. <br />The permit area encompasses an existing l l lc permit and the site entrance is located on the south side of Hwy <br />34 west of Wray CO. Yuma County is permitting 56.7 acres at this location. The notification of proposed <br />mining site sign was observed at the existing site entrance location, and the extent of the site was defined by <br />painted T-post markers. <br />The site is relatively level to rolling hilly ground and is currently rangeland. No man-made features were noted <br />within the proposed permit limits. Yuma County is proposing a 200' buffer zone around the perimeter of the <br />site as well to maintain sufficient distance to prevent possible impacts from mining activities. DRMS also <br />suggested that it would be a good idea to clearly mark the buffer zone for the intermittent drainage channel <br />inside the permit boundary when work commences so that the affected areas do not encroach into this buffer <br />area. <br />The entire site is currently rangeland. Grazing may to continue on areas of the site that are not being actively <br />mined. No other features or man-made structures of note were observed in the permit area during this <br />inspection. <br />Inspection Contact Address <br />Howard McGinnis - Yuma County <br />Yuma County Road and Bridge <br />1310 South Blake Street <br />Wray, CO 80758 <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />
