OBSERVATIONS <br />PERMIT #: M -1984 -028 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: SJR <br />INSPECTION DATE: February 22, 2012 <br />This was a normal monitoring inspection of the DiRezza Pit; DRMS File No. M- 1984 -028, operated DiRezza <br />Limited Family Partnership. This site is located 7.5 miles northwest of Las Animas, Colorado, in Bent County. <br />I, Stephanie Reigh of the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety conducted the inspection. Ms. <br />Katrena DiRezza of DiRezza Limited Family Partnership accompanied me on the inspection. <br />This is a 110c mining operation with a 9.5 acre permit area. The Operator began the operation on the south <br />side of the site and has excavated to the north. The pit seems a little disorganized with small piles of material <br />throughout the permit area. The Operator should be reminded that the sites are required to be reclaimed <br />within 5 years of the completion of mining (per CRS 34- 32.5- 116(4)(q)). The permit identification sign and the <br />permit boundary markers were adequate. <br />The topsoil stock pile appears to be stable and vegetated in addition to some annual weeds. There was no <br />equipment at the site. Pulled Tamarisk piles were present at the site, although there was a few other living <br />Tamarisk on the site. <br />All other activities and completed work at the time of inspection appeared to follow the guidelines and <br />regulations set forth by the state and in the mining and reclamation plans for the pit. <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />
