PERMIT #: PF.Id <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: TC1 <br />INSPECTION DATE: August 7, 2014 <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This was a follow -up regular monitoring program inspection to assess compliance with the approved Notice of <br />Intent (NOI) prospecting permit. Mr. Al Dowdy was present for the inspection as the Prospector. The Division <br />attempted to meet Mr. Dowdy on June 24, 2014 for an inspection, but a communication problem prevented <br />the Division and Mr. Dowdy meeting each other. The Sunrise claim is on Mineral Hill, approximately 1 mile <br />north of Cripple Creek in Teller County. <br />Inspection: <br />The site consists of a historic working (see Photo 1) which Mr. Dowdy pointed out. He then provided verbal <br />directions to the four corners of the Sunrise Claim. The claim is on a hill that is well forested and thereby <br />difficult to see one survey marker from another. The Division recorded GPS coordinates using a Trimble Juno <br />3b for all locatable Sunrise Claim (Mineral Survey No. 8233) survey markers (see Photos 2 and 3) in order to <br />determine the claim boundaries. A map is included as Figure 1. <br />Mr. Dowdy indicated he has worked the site very little. The majority of his efforts have been concentrated on <br />the nearby Buckeye Claim (P- 1993 -013) which the Division was able to locate and inspect on June 24, 2014. <br />No noxious weeds were observed. No stormwater retention was observed. <br />Records: <br />• The maximum allowed disturbance is 1.0 acre. <br />• Revisions: none <br />• This was the first inspection of this site. <br />• The anniversary date is August 15. The Annual fees and map are current through 2014. However, the <br />Division did not receive an annual report for 2014. This is cited as a problem on page one of this <br />report. A blank copy of the annual report form is attached for your convenience. <br />• The approved N01 involves trenching - —30 ft wide x 150 ft long x 18 ft deep with 2H:1V side slopes. No <br />new roads are proposed. The N01 application notes a pre- existing 30 -ft wide trench —125 feet from the <br />east end of the claim, running in a north -south direction. Reclamation activities to backfill, topsoil, and <br />revegetate trench sites. <br />Current Stipulations: <br />None. <br />Bond: <br />The currently held bond is $2,000. This bond is deemed adequate. <br />Summary & Recommendations: <br />1. The observed level of activity appears consistent the approved N01. <br />2. Please complete and submit the attached annual report form by the Corrective Action Due Date. <br />Page 2 of 5 <br />
