Due to the unauthorized access, the operator <br />has placed impediments in the roadway. Under the circumstances, the Division finds this action acceptable. <br /> <br />Unauthorized access appears to be coming in Light Use Road #2. The operator has re-established the gate and <br />place other restrictions on this roadway. The Division finds this action acceptable. Should the operator or <br />landowner require use of the road, the operator will take necessary action. <br /> <br />SLIDES and DAMAGE - Rule 4.12: <br /> No new rock fall was observed at the portal area. Rock fall protection fencing remains in place at the <br />portal. <br /> <br />SUPPORT FACILITIES - Rule 4.04: <br /> The inspector met up with Chuck Silengo, representing McClane Canyon Mining. The mine has been <br />broken into again. MCC has taken precautions to attempt to impede future break-ins. The unauthorized access <br />has not damaged hydrologic controls, materials storage areas, sumps or culverts. It does not appear that the mine <br />seals have been damaged. As a result of this second brake-in, the operator is taking additional precautions to <br />impede further unauthorized access. These efforts are acceptable to the Division, and do not reduce the function <br />of the hydrologic controls, or function of the facilities. <br /> <br />OFFSITE SUPPORT FACILIITES - Rule 4.04, 4.28: <br /> Mine records are stored off-site at the offices of J.E.
