The following inspection topics were identified as having Problems or Possible Violations. OPERATORS
SHOULD READ THE FOLLOWING PAGES CAREFULLY IN ORDER TO ASSURE COMPLIANCE
WITH THE TERMS OF THE PERMIT AND APPLICABLE RULES AND REGULATIONS. If a
Possible Violation is indicated, you will be notified under separate cover as to when the Mined Land
Reclamation Board will consider possible enforcement action.
INSPECTION TOPIC: Financial Warranty
PROBLEMIPOSSIBLE VIOLATION: Problem: The financial warranty is not adequate to cover the liability
associated with exposed groundwater as required by the State Engineer's Office. This is a failure to maintain the
proper financial warranty amount to complete reclamation of the affected lands pursuant to C.R.S. 34-32.5 -
117(4)(b) of the Act.
CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: The operator shall submit adequate financial warranty, as determined by the
Division, and sent in the Succession of Operator documentation. The successor operator will have 60 days from
the date on the SO surety notice to post the additional financial warranty.
CORRECTIVE ACTION DUE DATE: 60 days from date on SO surety notice
INSPECTION TOPIC: Revegetation
PROBLEM/POSSIBLE VIOLATION: Problem: There are state - listed noxious weeds present on site (Russian
Olive, tamarisk, cheatgrass). This is a problem for failure to employ weed control methods for state listed
noxious weed species within the permitted area, and to reduce the spread of weeds to nearby areas as required by
Section 3.1.10 (6) of the rule.
CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: Implement approved weed control plan and provide proof to the Division that this
has been done. If a weed control plan is not already in place, the operator shall develop a weed control and
management plan in accordance with Section 3.1.10 (6) of the Rule. This plan should be developed in
consultation with the county extension agency, or weed control district office and should include specific control
measures to be applied, a schedule for when control measures will be applied and a post - treatment monitoring
plan. This weed control plan shall be submitted to the Division as a Technical Revision to the approved plan wit:
the appropriate Technical Revision fee of $216.00 by the corrective action date, or incorporated into the
upcoming required permit amendment.
CORRECTIVE ACTION DUE DATE: 1/31/14
