PERMIT#: M-1990-059 <br /> INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: THM <br /> INSPECTION DATE: September 30,2015 <br /> OBSERVATIONS <br /> This inspection was conducted as part of the normal monitoring program established by the Colorado <br /> Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety. The Eldorado - Pilot is a 110(1) underground mine. The <br /> commodities mined were gold and silver. The mine permit area consists of 2.0 permitted acres. The <br /> Eldorado - Pilot is located approximately 6 miles west of Ouray Colorado up Yankee Boy Basin Road. No <br /> representative of the mining operation was present during the inspection. <br /> No mine identification sign was observed at the entrance to the mine site. This is not considered a problem <br /> due to the site being in final reclamation. <br /> The main focus of the inspection was to observe the current conditions of the site and determine if any <br /> issues needed to be addressed. <br /> The site was regraded and all slopes appeared to be no steeper than the required 3H:1V. The portal was <br /> partially sealed at the time of the inspection. The site had good vegetative coverage and will likely have <br /> enough perennial vegetation within the next 1-2 growing seasons to be eligible for a compete release of the <br /> permit once the portal is adequately sealed. <br /> Overall the site was in good condition and no unnecessary debris or trash was observed during the <br /> inspection. <br /> No erosion or sedimentation issues were noted. There are no major or minor drainage issues within the <br /> permit area that warrant addressing. <br /> Responses to this inspection report should be directed to Travis Marshall at the Division of Reclamation <br /> Mining and Safety Grand Junction Field Office, 101 South 3rd Street, Suite 301, Grand Junction, Colorado <br /> 81501 phone no.
