�g MINERALS PROGRAM INSPECTION REPORT
PHONE: [phone]
The Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety has conducted an inspection of the mining operation
noted below. This report documents observations concerning compliance with the terms of the permit
and applicable rules and regulations of the Mined Land Reclamation Board.
The following inspection topics were identified as having Problems or Possible Violations. OPERATORS
SHOULD READ THE FOLLOWING PAGES CAREFULLY IN ORDER TO ASSURE COMPLIANCE
WITH THE TERMS OF THE PERMIT AND APPLICABLE RULES AND REGULATIONS. If a
Possible Violation is indicated, you will be notified under separate cover as to when the Mined Land
Reclamation Board will consider possible enforcement action.
INSPECTION TOPICS: RV, SC, RS
PROBLEM /POSSIBLE VIOLATION: Problem: Revegetation has not been established to the standards required in
§34- 32.5- 116(4)(f) C.R.S. and Construction Materials Rule 3.1.10(1), which state: "In those areas where
revegetation is part of the reclamation plan, land shall be revegetated so that a diverse, effective, and long -
lasting vegetative cover is established that is capable of self- regeneration and is at least equal, with respect to
the extent of cover, to the natural vegetation of the surrounding area. Species chosen for revegetation shall be
compatible for the proposed post- extraction land use and shall be of adequate diversity to establish successful
reclamation." The inadequate revegetation has resulted in erosional instability and sediment transport with
formation of erosional rills.
CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: The operator must establish revegetation in accordance with §34- 32.5- 116(4)(f) C.R.S.
and Construction Materials Rule 3.1.10(1) in order to provide the appropriate required extent of cover,
adequate vegetative diversity, and to prevent erosional instability. The operator must also repair to the extent
possible the existing erosional damage by regrading.
CORRECTIVE ACTION DUE DATE: 23 June 2012
