The Operator did not attend the inspection. The site is located <br />about nine miles east of Hartsel, and immediately east of the Chaparral Meadows General Store alongside <br />County Road 92. The commodity of interest is sand and gravel. The total permit area is 4.0 acres, and the <br />post- mining land use is described as rangeland.
