The inspection was conducted and the report prepared by me, Robin Reilley of the <br />DRMS. Miranda Kawcak, Williams Fork representative was present throughout the inspection. <br />Skies had high clouds with temperatures around 68 degrees Fahrenheit. Demolition of the site <br />continues with disposal of the materials progressing in a timely fashion. <br /> <br />UPCOMING PERMITTING ACTIONS: <br />o Phase I, II and III bond release of Utah Track and the Williams Fork strip pit <br />o Technical Revision of the Reclamation Plan <br /> <br />MAINTENANCE ITEMS: Stream Buffer Zone Rule 4.05.18 and 4.02 <br />1. Please place markers at more frequent intervals and further south along stream to <br />delineate the stream buffer zone. Have these markers in place by the time of the June <br />inspection. <br /> <br />INSPECTION: <br /> <br />GENERAL MINE PLAN COMPLIANCE: <br />Reclamation is underway as permitted, with many of the facilities already demolished. Most <br />ponds will be reclaimed as over the course of the year as they do not retain water. With the <br />exception of a vehicle storage building facilities will be demolished and hauled away. ColoWyo <br />wishes to maintain access to the site to maintain their railroad spur that runs through the site. <br /> <br />SIGNS AND MARKERS Rule 4.02 <br />o The mine site identification sign inside the entrance to the facilities from CO 13 South was <br />intact, displaying all required information: mine name, operator name, address, phone <br />number, DRMS permit number and contact information. <br />o Permit boundary markers were identified as T stakes painted red at the top. <br />o Topsoil stockpiles were noted, some, but not all were clearly marked with identifying signs. <br />o Stream buffer zones were noted. It appears additional signage is needed to clearly delineate <br />the buffer zone for all contractors operating on site. <br />
