PERMIT#:P-2012-004 <br /> INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: MAC <br /> INSPECTION DATE:July 21,2016 <br /> OBSERVATIONS <br /> The inspection was conducted by Michael Cunningham of the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br /> (Division) and Amy Titterington of the U.S. Forest Service. The Operator was not present for the inspection. <br /> The Purple Hill prospect site is located approximately 10 miles southwest of Deckers, Colorado in the Pike-San <br /> Isabel National Forest.The inspection was conducted as part of the Division's regular monitoring program in <br /> which NOI operations are inspected on a yearly basis. <br /> Prospecting at the Purple Hill site concluded in 2012 and final reclamation was completed in 2013. The <br /> Division observed grasses beginning to establish in clumps across the reclaimed site. The following species <br /> were observed at the site: smooth brome, miner's candle, harebell, fringe sage, mountain mahogany, and <br /> parry geranium. The Operator may wish to lightly rake seed across the site as the reclaimed area lies within a <br /> drainage and some of the broadcast seed may have washed away. At least one more growing season will be <br /> necessary to further establish vegetation.The site was stable and no signs of erosion were noted. <br /> This concluded the inspection. <br /> Page 2 of 3 <br />
