PERMIT #: M- 1992 -069 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: PSH <br />INSPECTION DATE: February 10, 2012 <br />Boyd- Freeman Ditch <br />The Boyd- Freeman Ditch has been enclosed in pipe starting east of the site and continuing along the western <br />edge of the property. The ditch returns to its original channel in the northwest corner of the site. The <br />earthwork related to the ditch is completed and the disturbed area was mulched and seeded in December <br />2011. <br />Mine Plan: <br />The site is inactive and in final reclamation. The processing equipment noted in previous inspections remains <br />at the site and will need to be removed by the operator. <br />Financial Warranty: <br />The Division currently holds a financial warranty in the amount of $71,404, which is inadequate to account for <br />the exposed groundwater at the site. <br />Signs and Markers: <br />An entrance sign was observed as required by Rule 3.1.12. The permit boundary was defined by fencing on all <br />sides of the site. The boundary was not verified by the Division during the inspection. <br />Reclamation Success: <br />Vegetation at the site remains sparse despite the reseeding efforts by the Operator. The site is dominated by <br />koshia and other annual weeds. The establishment of vegetation near the former processing area in the <br />middle of the site is failing due to a prairie dog colony. The Division recommends the prairie dogs are <br />relocated before any future reseeding efforts at the site. <br />Inspection Contact Address <br />Mrs. Connie Davis <br />Aggregate Industries - WCR, Inc. <br />1707 Cole Blvd., Ste. 100 <br />Golden, CO 80401 <br />CERTIFIED MAIL NO. 7008 3230 0002 7253 3290 <br />Return Receipt Requested <br />Cc: Tom Kaldenbach; DRMS <br />Tony Waldron; DRMS <br />Page 4 of 7 <br />
