Mr. Harry Ranney of CDRMS collected digital <br />images from a small airplane on 1/29/2019. Janet Binns reviewed the images. This report is based upond review <br />of the digital images. <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 Impoundments 4.05.6, 4.05.9; Stream Buffer Zones 4.05.18: <br /> The site is snow covered. All reclaimed ponds are snow covered. No standing water or ice covered ponds <br />were noted indicating that none of the remaining ponds held water under the snow cover. <br /> <br />No images were collected of the loadout area. <br /> <br />GENERAL MINE PLAN COMPLIANCE: <br /> The mine site is snow covered. Some east facing slopes at the east mine are free of snow, but the majority <br />of the East, West, and ROM areas all are snow covered. Shrubs are visible protruding through the snow cover. <br />No activity appears to be occurring. All appears quiet. <br /> <br />ROADS – Rule 4.03), Drainage 4.03.1(4)/4.03.2(4), Surfacing and Maintenance 4.03.1(5) and (6)/4.03.2(5) and <br />(6), Reclamation 4.03.1(7)/4.03.2(7): <br /> The access road at the east mine is not plowed. BRI only plows the road if access is needed. This helps <br />keep the road from rutting and minimizes sediment transport. Access can be made on foot or snow machine if <br />necessary. The county road to the West mine is not plowed. This road is not BRI’s responsibility. <br /> <br />SLIDES and DAMAGE - Rule 4.12: <br /> There is no evidence of recent mass movement or rill formation. The snow cover should help keep the <br />slopes frozen and stable.
