OBSERVATIONS <br />PERMIT #: M -1980 -019 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: DB2 <br />INSPECTION DATE: 21 September 2011 <br />This was a routine monitoring inspection conducted by David Bird of DRMS. Doug Keith of Park County Road <br />and Bridge also attended the inspection. <br />The site is located in Park County approximately 18 miles east - northeast of Fairplay alongside CR 77. Sand and <br />Gravel are the commodities of interest at this mine. The total permit area is listed in the DRMS database as <br />7.8 acres, and the post- mining land use is designated as rangeland. No financial warranty is held as the <br />operator is a government entity. <br />There was no mining or excavation activity occurring at the time of the inspection and no obvious evidence of <br />recent activity. The site is being used a temporary staging and laydown area for the Federal road paving <br />operation on CR 77. <br />No problems were observed. Weeds are under control, there is no off-site damage, and there are no issues <br />with respect to hydrologic balance. <br />The west highwall of the pit is very close to the permit boundary, and the operator should be cognizant of this <br />to avoid mining or any related activity beyond the permit boundary. <br />Page 2 of 9 <br />
