The photos were taken by Harry Ranney and the report was written by Tabetha <br />Lynch, both with the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety. The weather was clear at the time of <br />inspection. As noted in the ground inspection on 12/15/2016 the Divisions inactive mine reclamation program had <br />begun construction at the Wise Hill Fire project, which is within the Williams Fork Permit boundary. Excavation <br />from this project appears to be occuring at the time of inspection. <br />HYDROLOGIC BALANCE - Rule 4.05 <br />Drainage Control 4.05.1, 4.05.2, 4.05.3; Siltation Structures 4.05.5, 4.05.6; Discharge Structures 4.05.7, 4.05.10; <br />Diversions 4.05.4; Effluent Limits 4.05.2; Ground Water Monitoring 4.05.13; Surface Water Monitoring 4.05.13; <br />Drainage – Acid and Toxic Materials 4.05.8; Impoundments 4.05.6, 4.05.9; Stream Buffer Zones 4.05.18: <br /> From the photos it appears the ponds were snow covered but not holding water at the time of the <br />inspection. <br /> <br />GENERAL MINE PLAN COMPLIANCE: <br /> It does not appear that reclamation activities were occurring at the time of the inspection. <br /> <br />ROADS – Rule 4.03 <br />Construction 4.03.1(3)/4.03.2(3) <br />Drainage 4.03.1(4)/4.03.2(4) <br />Surfacing and Maintenance4.03.1(5) and (6)/4.03.2(5) and (6) <br />Reclamation 4.03.1(7)/4.03.2(7): <br /> The roads appear to have been plowed. <br /> <br />SUPPORT FACILITIES - Rule 4.04: <br /> Facilities areas were observed and no problems were noted.
