PERMIT #: M-1980-203 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: THM <br />INSPECTION DATE: May 20, 2011 <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This inspection was conducted as part of the normal monitoring program established by the Colorado Division <br />of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (DRMS). The Currier Pit is located approximately 15 miles east of <br />Collbran, Colorado. The site is a 9.0 acre 110c operation. Currier Gravel Pit, Inc. representative Tom Currier <br />accompanied the inspector during the inspection. According to DRMS records the site has not been inspected <br />since August 2006. <br />The mine identification sign was observed at the main entrance to the site along with permit boundary markers <br />in the form of "t-posts". Both the mine identification sign and permit boundaries are in compliance with Rule <br />3.1.12. <br />The site was inactive during the inspection. It appeared that most of "Mining Area 1" was completed during a <br />project that took place in 2010. All fuel and chemical tanks were properly placed in secondary containment. <br />Various stockpiles of processed material were observed within the permit area. <br />Currently a survey dispute between the operator and the U.S. BLM is occurring and signs indicating federal <br />boundary were observed during the inspection. <br />In an effort to ensure that the financial warranty remains adequate to reclaim the site per the requirements of the <br />approved reclamation plan, DRMS has updated the reclamation cost estimate (copy enclosed). Therefore <br />pursuant to Sections 34-32.5-117(4) of the Colorado Land Reclamation Act, adequate financial warranty must <br />be submitted to the DBMS within 60 days of the mailing date of this report. Please review the enclosed <br />figures as soon as possible and contact our office if any calculation errors are noted. <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to Travis Marshall at the Division of Reclamation, <br />Mining and Safety, Grand Junction Field Office, 101 South 3rd Street, Room 301, Grand Junction, Colorado <br />81501, phone no.
