Box 976 <br />Grand Junction, Colorado 81501 <br />RE: FIIE NO.: 81-58 MliNE: DeBegue Pit <br />(Please note the inscruction.s indicated by <br />an K to the right.) <br />OBSERVrlTI0N5 OF I`i1PORTANCE: <br />Mining has not begun. <br />,YQ No problems noted ac time of inspection. <br />As a reminder, be sure to ii le your <br />Annual Report or Yotice of Lntent to <br />Continue on the Permit 2,ciniversary Data <br />Possible problem(s) -Vote recoamenda- <br />tion(s) below to avoid further complic.a <br />[ions or possible violation(s) at the <br />time of the next inspection. <br />Possible violation(s) - Yote reco~nend:s <br />[ion(s) below and reply to the Division <br />by [o avoid <br />enforcement action. <br />Possible violation(s) pose(s) an <br />immediate threat of harm to [he <br />environment, public welfare, or <br />continued operation. Enforcement <br />action forthcoming. <br />The approved mining plan allows for disturbance within 30' feet of the River. This <br />is a much smaller buffer area than is normally allowed along rivers, and will allow for <br />the destruction of much of the riparian habitat. This is especially true along the northwest <br />portion of the permit area wherEe some large cottonwoods exist. <br /> <br />RETIONS: <br />1. If possible, the staff strongly encourages the operator to leave a 100-foot area <br />between the river and any disturbance and to save the cottonwood trees in the northwest <br />portion of the site. <br />2. The end use of wildlife refuge is compatible with the surrounding area. This end use <br />would more easily be achieved it the recommendations of the D.O.W. were followed. <br />Adoption of these recommendations would also probably increase the value of this Land as a <br />recreational area. <br />Inspected by: <br />JL/mt <br />Ja Lucas <br />Reclanatian Soec' i.st <br />
