Stover and Associates. Records were checked prior to heading <br />to the mine site. Availability of Records form is attached to the end of this report. No mine representatives <br />accompanied the inspection. Tamme Bishop of J.E. Stover and Associates was present during the records <br />check at the J.E. Stover Office. <br /> <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, <br />4.05.10; Diversions 4.05.4; Impoundments 4.05.6, 4.05.9; Stream Buffer Zones 4.05.18: <br /> There is one pond located at the McClane Canyon Mine. The pond is in good condition and only held <br />a very shallow puddle of clear water. The mine site was dry, but it appeared from sediment on the roadway that <br />a sizable storm had moved through the area at some time previous to the inspection. <br /> <br />The ditches and sediment traps were in good condition. Culverts and sediment traps have been cleared of <br />sediment. The site appears to be ready for winter. <br /> <br />Drop structures at the portal area are clear and ready for winter months. <br />GENERAL MINE PLAN COMPLIANCE: <br /> The mine is idle with no personnel on the site. The mine site is locked, office is locked, items in the <br />yard are secured from weather (i.e. stored items are not blowing around). The portals are sealed, prohibiting <br />unauthorized access into the workings. The fan has been dismantled. All is quiet at the mine office and <br />facilities. <br /> <br />ROADS – Rule 4.03
