The focus of the I&E partial inspection <br /> was to visit the North Decline and the lands on the Tract 70 mesa to the south of the North Decline . The Division <br /> received emails from Jim Beckwith on June 19, 2019 and David Fox on June 20, 2019 regarding new ground <br /> features on Mr. Fontanari's property. The Division included those sites identified in the emails as a part of this I <br /> &E partial inspection. The featues of concern were located on the Tract 70 mesa in the vicinity of previous <br /> ground repairs, associated with the on-going SL-I I bond release application., completed by Snowcap in March <br /> 2019. The Division located these features and documented them using the Arc Collector application and a <br /> Samsung tablet. During the inspection Snowcap received a call from the Division of Water Resources asking if <br /> the Snowcap representative would like to attend a site inspection of Tract 70 the afternoon of July 9. Snowcap <br /> replied yes and asked DWR if they wanted the Division to attend the inspection as well since I was currently on <br /> site and available. DWR replied that they would like the Division to attend as well. I contacted Amy Yeldell of <br /> the Division's Grand Junction Field Office after the morning portion of the inspection of the Roadside Mine.
