This was a surety reduction inspection (SR2) for an active 112c sand and gravel operation conducted by Eric <br />Scott of DRMS for the Ft. Lupton Sand & Gravel Pit site. DRMS met with Lynn Mayer Shults of L.G. Everist <br />on site. Portions of the Ft. Lupton Sand and Gravel site are currently under contract by the City of Aurora for <br />development as water storage, and will be purchased by the city in phases as the mining is completed. <br />The surety reduction requested on December 27, 2011 was based on completed work on the Hill /Oakley phase <br />and the Fort Lupton East phase of the operation. The slurry walls for both of these phases have passed the State <br />Engineers Office testing process, and the earthwork, final sloping and top - soiling has been completed. The <br />bond for the Ft Lupton phase slurry wall has already been released. The bond reduction contemplated by SR2 is <br />based on the 20% slurry wall bond and all required earth work for the Hill /Oakley phase, and completion of the <br />required earth work for the eastern part of the Ft Lupton phase. Seeding and complete revegetation with the <br />approved seed mixes still needs to be completed before these areas could be considered reclaimed for final <br />release. <br />At the time of this SR inspection, the earthwork for the Hill /Oakley and eastern Ft Lupton phases of the site <br />appeared to be well done and completed according to the approved reclamation plan. Upon further discussion <br />with LG Everist, it has been decided that although the reclamation work has been satisfactorily completed for <br />these areas (with only the final vegetation remaining) that it would be more appropriate to make the adjustments <br />to the required bond amount in conjunction with the upcoming permit amendment. <br />Other activities at the site appeared to be in compliance with the approved mining and reclamation plan at the <br />time of the inspection. <br />Inspection Contact Address <br />Lynn Mayer Shults <br />L.G.
