COMMENTS
This was a complete inspection of the Coal Ridge No. 1 Mine conducted by Susan Burgmaier of DBMS. No
representative of CB Minerals was present during the inspection. Weather conditions were cloudy, breezy, and
warm, approximately 60 degrees. Ground conditions were dry and the site was mostly clear of snow.
The site has been regraded, topsoil has been replaced, and vegetation reestablished. Phase II bond release has
been granted for the entire site, and DRMS inspections occur quarterly. Remaining reclamation work consists of
removal of sediment control structures.
