The Greeley West Pit, File No. M- 1977 -081 was inspected by Peter Hays with the Division of Reclamation, <br />Mining and Safety in advance of an anticipated succession of operator application transferring the reclamation <br />permit from Lafarge West, Inc. to the City of Greeley. Mrs. Anne Johnson with Lafarge was present during the <br />inspection. The site was previously inspected by the Division on April 18, 2002. <br />The Greeley West Pit has not been actively mined in a number of years. The site is owned by Flatirons <br />Construction and operated by Lafarge. <br />The City of Greeley issued a Request for Proposal seeking a consultant to amend the existing Division permit <br />and develop a new City Use by Special Review permit allowing mining and a water storage reservoir at the <br />site. The City is under contract to purchase the approximately 1 acre partially reclaimed gravel pit. The site <br />adjoins the City's existing Poudre Ponds Water Storage Reservoir (25 Avenue Site). The City of Greeley has <br />contracted Hall Irwin Corporation to excavate the existing clay seem and mine portions of the site. <br />The site is partially reclaimed. The City of Greeley has recently installed a chain -link fence around sections of <br />the site. The fence follows the approximate permit boundary, but appears to deviate from the approved <br />permit boundary at several locations. The site currently consists of four unlined lakes surrounded by <br />rangeland in various states of reclamation. The visual topsoil berms in the southeast corner of the site along <br />25 Avenue and a low scraper placed topsoil pile located at the northwest corner of the southeast lake remain <br />on site. The topsoil is intended to be used to reclaim the plant area and the area between the lakes in the <br />southern portion of the site. <br />Lafarge is continuing to maintain the site. The site is mowed and weed control measures are ongoing. Russian <br />Olives and salt cedars were removed from the site last year. Several of the lake shorelines have not been <br />completely resloped. Stockpiles of overburden were observed along the south end of the northeast lake and <br />the north side of the southeast lake. <br />The Division currently holds a reclamation bond in the amount of $144,826, which appears adequate to <br />reclaim the site based on the observations from this inspection. <br />Inspection Contact Address <br />Mrs. Anne Johnson <br />Lafarge West, Inc. <br />10170 Church Ranch Way, Ste. 200 <br />Westminster, CO 80021 <br />Cc: Tom Kaldenbach; DRMS <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />PERMIT #: M -1977 -081 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: PSH <br />INSPECTION DATE: October 6, 2011 <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />
