The permit for the pit was revoked and the financial warranty was forfeited. The <br /> Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety will reclaim the site using the forfeited bond <br /> money in accordance with the approved reclamation plan. <br /> PROJECT LOCATION <br /> The J&S Farms is located in the town of Lamar. Access to the site is from 7350 Highway <br /> 50. See attached map. <br /> The J&S Farms Pit (M-1996-053) is in western Prowers County about 1450 feet north of <br /> the Arkansas River on the east side of Highway 50 in the town of Lamar. The disturbed <br /> area is approximately 80 acres, including a pond of 28.6 acres that will remain. The site <br /> is generally flat and contains sandy to clayey loam soils that can be unstable around the <br /> margins of the pond where they are saturated. Due to the proximity to the Arkansas River <br /> and pond on site, shallow groundwater is expected. <br /> WORK SUMMARY <br /> The J&S Farms site encompasses approximately 80 acres of rangeland that was <br /> disturbed during a gravel mining operation. Approximately 28 acres of the site is a <br /> groundwater exposed pond. The reclamation work will involve: 1) regrading a portion of <br /> the shoreline of the pond to a 3H:1 V slope, 2) seeding the graded shoreline. The pond on <br /> the site will remain. <br /> MANDATORY PRE-BID MEETING- <br /> A mandatory pre-bid meeting and site showing will be held at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, <br /> August 9th, 2022. The meeting will start at Semco Inc. in Lamar Colorado. The <br /> address is 7595 US-50, Lamar, CO 81052. <br /> Page 1 of 10 <br /> Rev.7/15/2022 <br />
