No operator was present during the inspection. The <br />weather was sunny and ground conditions were muddy and saturated. Temperatures during the inspection were <br />around seventy five degrees fahrenheit. <br /> <br />On July 23, 2018, a large precipitation event occurred at the mine. For the day, a total of 1.68 inches of <br />percipitation was measured at Florence, CO (located approximately 8 miles northwest of the mine) with 1.43 <br />inches of precipitation measure over an hour. <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, 4.05.10; <br />Diversions 4.05.4; Effluent Limits 4.05.2; Ground Water Monitoring 4.05.13; Surface Water Monitoring 4.05.13; <br />Drainage – Acid and Toxic Materials 4.05.8; Impoundments 4.05.6, 4.05.9; Stream Buffer Zones 4.05.18: <br />The Magpie Diversion was inspected. Sediment deposition was observed along the base of the channel from the <br />contributing drainages. No cutting or erosion was observed and the ditch remains armored with rip rap. The area <br />noted in previous inspection reports as “devoid” with rip rap had no issues associated with it. The channel remains <br />stable and functional with the culvert inlet clear. No issues were observed. <br /> <br />RECLAMATION SUCCESS - Rule 4.15, Rule 3: <br />The two track road as well as the NW-MW pad and road spur were inspected. No erosion from the area was <br />observed. Vegetation continues to establish itself along the two track. The road spur is already well established <br />with vegetation and no issues were observed. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
