PERMIT #: M -1997 -039 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: PSH <br />INSPECTION DATE: July 16, 2013 <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />The Williams /Illinois Gravel Pit was inspected by Peter Hays with the Division of Reclamation, Mining and <br />Safety (Division) in advance of a pending 110c to 112c conversion application to expand the pit. Mr. Richard <br />Wyatt with Wyatt Redi -Mix Company was present during the inspection. <br />The site is permitted for 9.9 acres. The plan is to expand the site to 205 acres. The site was previously <br />inspected by the Division on September 7, 2011. The site was inactive at the time of this inspection. <br />The Division currently holds a financial warranty in the amount of $7,600. The financial warranty will be <br />recalculated by the Division during the 110c to 112c permit conversion process. Mr. Wyatt stated a phased <br />bond for a maximum allowable disturbance of 15 acres (5 in reclamation, 5 for operations and 5 actively <br />mined) at one time would be proposed in the conversion application. <br />The pit highwall reclamation has continued along the northern boundary. The northwest corner of the pit <br />remains unmined, but will be mined next to allow for the northern half of the western highwall to be <br />reclaimed. The reclaimed portion of the northern slope was protected by an electric cattle fence. Vegetation, <br />mostly annual weeds with some native grasses was establishing on the 4H:1V slope. <br />An entrance sign was observed lying on the ground near the entrance and permit boundary markers were <br />observed as required by Rule 3.1.12. The Operator will need to reinstall the entrance sign. <br />Inspection Contact Address <br />Mr. Richard Wyatt <br />Wyatt Redi -Mix Co <br />690 Harrison Street <br />Walden, CO 80480 <br />Cc: Tom Kaldenbach; DRMS <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />
