The Kremmling Airport site was inspected by Peter Hays with the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br />(Division) as part of the Division's monitoring inspection program. Mr. Bill Clark with Grand County <br />Department of Road and Bridge was present during the inspection. The site was last inspected by the Division <br />on September 16, 2009. <br />The Kremmling Airport Pit is located on the south side of the Kremmling Airport southeast of Kremmling, <br />Colorado. The site is permitted for 11.60 acres of disturbance. The Division estimated the current mined <br />acreage at 2 acres and the overall disturbance at 3 acres. <br />The 2012 annual report submitted by Grand County Department of Road and Bridge indicated the pit was <br />mined in July of 2012 and hauling activities were observed during the inspection. The highwall continues to <br />move to the east and was approximately 20 feet in height. <br />The approved post mining land use is industrial /commercial. Approximately 150 feet of the western portion of <br />the northern slope was regraded, topsoiled and seeded in 2012. The final northern slope is approved at 2:1, <br />however due to the mining method and size of the workable area the resulting slope is closer to 3:1. The <br />topsoil stockpile along the northern boundary of the pit adjacent to the airport fence appeared stable and <br />adequately vegetated. The required 25 foot offset from the airport fence and evidence of ongoing noxious <br />weed control (scotch and musk thistle) at the site were observed. <br />An entrance sign was posted and permit boundary markers were observed as required by Rule 3.1.12. The <br />site was well organized and maintained by Grand County Department of Road and Bridge. No problems were <br />noted during the inspection. Photographs taken during the inspection are attached. <br />Inspection Contact Address <br />Ken Haynes <br />Grand County <br />467 E.
