PERMIT #: M- 1983 -193 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: BMK <br />INSPECTION DATE: May 2, 2013 <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />1) The Division conducted a monitoring inspection of the site to verify adequacy of the financial warranty in a <br />response to a Temporary Cessation (T.C.) request. Present during the inspection were Dennis Goode and Greg <br />Newline of R.E Monks Construction. There was approximately an inch of snow from the night before that was on <br />the ground at the time of the inspection. <br />2) The site is a 35 acre 112 sand and gravel operation located 5 miles north east of Colorado Springs. The maximum <br />acres to be affected at any given time are 4 acres. <br />3) All the affected acres have been graded and top soiled replaced. The operator explained that the site is only <br />used when material for the plant area is needed and they do not anticipate mining here any time soon and want <br />to be in T.C. <br />4) The reclaimed slopes were 4:1 and gentler for the most of the area. Surface water from the reclaimed slopes is <br />captured with in the pit. <br />5) The current financial warranty for the site is $18,450.00 and is more than adequate to cover the cost of <br />reclamation. However when the operation starts mining operation, the Division will recalculate the required <br />warranty based on the approved maximum 4 acres to be affected at any given time. The Division will approve <br />the T.0 request at this time. <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />
