The site inspection occurred on 4/25/2017, <br /> with the records check conducted in the office of J. E. Stover on 4/26/2017. The mine is in temporary cessation. <br /> As such the access is through locked gates, and no personnel are on site. <br /> AVAILABILITY OF RECORDS—Rule 5.02.4(1): <br /> Mine Records are stored in Grand Junction at the office of J.E. Stover and assoc. Records were up to date <br /> and complete. <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 /> Effluent Limits 4.05.2; Impoundments 4.05.6,4.05.9; Stream Buffer Zones 4.05.18: <br /> The sediment pond was holding a shallow pool of water several feet below the discharge riser. There was <br /> no evidence of any recent discharge from the pond. The water in the pond was clear. Previously identified animal <br /> burrows on the outslope of the embankment have been filled and packed. No new holes were identified. This <br /> repair is acceptable.A patch of Whitetop (Cardaria draba) is present on the pond embankment that needs to be <br /> controlled. A large tamarisk has established on the embankment near the metal walkway to the riser. This <br /> tamarisk is under the cottonwood. Tamarisk is a troublesome noxious weed and needs to be eliminated from the <br /> embankment. <br /> Ditches at the portal area are clear and functioning well. Ditch D-2 has recently been cleaned of material that had <br /> sloughed off the hillside over the winter. This ditch is clear and functional. Ditch D-10-1 has an accumulation of <br /> debris as the ditch comes out of the canyon and before the runoff flows to the sediment pond. This corner requires <br /> cleanout to minimize the potential for flow to breach the ditch and flow down the road. <br /> Culverts A,D,G,1,H,J and P were clear of debris and functioning well. <br /> REVEGETATION—Rule 4.15 <br /> Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 2 <br /> Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 4 <br /> Page 2 of 7 <br />
