The mine is a reclaimed underground mine. <br />No mine personnel remain on site. Records are stored at the office of J. E. Stover and Associates. Mine records <br />were checked prior to the site inspection. <br /> <br />CAM Mining continues to have problems with unauthorized access through its property to the neighboring permit. <br />EXCESS SPOIL and DEVELOPMENT WASTE – Rule 4.09 <br />Drainage Control; Surface Stabilization: <br /> The weather was cool, and the South side of the canyon remains in shade due to the sun angle. The Waste <br />Rock pile was snow covered and in the shade. Snow cover is about 2 inches of crusty/icy snow. The reclaimed <br />pile appears stable and well vegetated. <br /> <br />HYDROLOGIC BALANCE - Rule 4.05 <br />Drainage Control 4.05.1, 4.05.2, 4.05.3; Stream Buffer Zones 4.05.18: <br /> The site has been dry . No flowing water was observed in Salt Creek, or Munger Creek. The thin crusty <br />snow cover was completely gone in areas that received sunshine, yet, shadowed areas, like the south side of the <br />canyon, had a thin snow cover. There was no evidence of recent snow melt flowing, or run off. All ditches along <br />the access road looked good. The Inspector was unable to get to the permanent drainages along the reclaimed haul <br />road to the portal due to icy conditions. <br /> <br />ROADS – Rule 4.03 <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 access road was dry up to the Munger Creek crossing. The bottom of the creek crossing was soft and <br />the east side of the slope was icy, so the inspector parked the truck and proceeded on foot. There were vehicle <br />tracks and foot prints in the roadway west of the creek crossing from a time that the road was soft and muddy. The
