This was a pre - operational inspection for the Dreher Pit, a proposed Yuma County 112c sand and gravel <br />operation, conducted by Eric Scott of DRMS. DRMS met Yuma County Road and Bridge representatives <br />Howard McGinnis, and Kent Twiss at the site, and observed the site with them at approximately 1030. <br />The permit area encompasses 67 acres and is located on the northeast corner of the intersection of Hwy 36 and <br />County Road K east of Joes CO. The notification of proposed mining site sign was observed at the existing site <br />entrance location, and the extent of the site boundary was clearly defined by painted T -post markers. <br />The site is relatively level and currently has good rangeland cover with vegetation typical of the area (see <br />attached photos). No man -made features were noted within the proposed permit limits. Yuma County is <br />proposing a 200' buffer zone around the perimeter of the site in order to maintain sufficient distance to prevent <br />possible impacts from mining activities. Some care may need to be given to prevent excessive runoff from <br />precipitation events from running into the pit. <br />The entire site is currently rangeland. Grazing may continue on areas of the site that are not being actively <br />mined. No other features or man-made structures of note were observed in the permit area during this <br />inspection. This permit application will be approved and mining may commence when the performance <br />warranty is executed and returned to the Division and the Permit is issued. <br />Inspection Contact Address <br />Howard McGinnis <br />Yuma County Road and Bridge <br />1310 South Blake Street <br />Wray, CO 80758 <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />PERMIT #: M- 2012 -051 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: ECS <br />INSPECTION DATE: March 13, 2013 <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />
