This was a routine monitoring inspection of the Kauffman Pit M1978-327 conducted by Eric Scott of DRMS. DRMS met <br />Frank and Mary Kauffman of Kauffman and Sons at the site office at approximately 1200. The site entrance is located off <br />the east side of Larimer County Road 9E approximately/ mile north of Highway 402 in Larimer County. Access to the <br />area inspected required travel through the operations of the site, so DRMS accompanied Mr. Kauffman to view the permit <br />area. <br />It was noted that all mining activity has been completed in the permit area, and that reclamation activity is now well <br />underway. Areas of exposed groundwater have been backfilled to slightly less than the pre -1981 exposed area to comply <br />with SEO requirements. Some re- grading /leveling of the southeastern permit area remains to be done before revegetation <br />can occur, and the seed mix may need to be revised to reflect a blend more appropriate for a non - irrigated area. A portion <br />of the industrially zoned area in the south - central part of the permit will now be retained as a concrete and asphalt <br />recycling area when reclamation has been completed, and several of the new backfill areas will be utilized as gravel <br />equipment storage lots. <br />DRMS stated that Mr. Kauffman will need to submit a TR soon to detail these changes and specify the anticipated final <br />configuration of the permit area as soon as it is determined. The TR will serve to update the approved reclamation plan to <br />reflect these minor changes in preparation for final release of the site. <br />Inspection Contact Address <br />Frank and Mary Kauffman <br />Jake Kauffman & Son, Inc. <br />808 SCR 9E <br />Loveland, CO 80537 <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />PERMIT #: M- 1978 -327 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: ECS <br />INSPECTION DATE: October 2, 2012 <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />
