The inspection was <br /> completed by Clayton Wein of the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety(the Division). Tonya Hammond <br /> of Snowcap Coal Company, Inc (SCC)was present for the inspection. The weather was clear with a temperature <br /> of 88 degrees F. The ground conditions were dry. <br /> During the inspection Tonya Hammond and myself met in the morning of August 7, 2019 with Shannon Ehlers of <br /> the Colorado Department of Transportation(CDOT) and Rodger Pihl of Golder Associates(CDOT contractor). <br /> CDOT had notified the Division that they had encountered what had appeared to be an old mine shaft during their <br /> work adjacent to I-70 near the North Decline (Photo 1 a and Photo I b). The Division recorded the location of a <br /> burried stucture consisting of I-beams and wood with a GPS. The shaft was thought to belong to the Roadside <br /> Mine. Site conditions were documented and reserch at SCC's office that afternoon confirmed the shaft was the <br /> Northwest Intake Portal. The Discharge outfall 002 is located several feet down-slope of the intake portal. Outfall <br /> 002 was observed to be buried by material excavated by the CDOT activities. The Northwest Intake was Phase III <br /> released with the SL-08 Bond Release. The Division determineed that CDOT should coordinate with SCC while <br /> continuing work at the site. The portal seal was behind several feet of fill material and thought to be intact. <br /> Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: I <br /> Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 1 <br /> Page 2 of 12 <br />
