The inspection was conducted on December 15, 2025, by Clayton Wein of the <br />Division. The Fruita No. 1 & 2 Mine is a revoked mine site, therefore, no company representative was present for <br />the inspection. The weather was clear with a temperature of 48℉. The ground conditions were dry during the <br />inspection. <br />The permit records for the Fruita No. 1 and 2 Mine can be viewed on the Division’s Laserfiche Database. <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 permanent sediment pond is located within the southern portion of the permit boundary. The sediment pond <br />was dry during the inspection (Photo 1). The embankments were covered with vegetation, and no indications of <br />instability were observed. There were no erosional features identified. The discharge outlet for the pond was clear <br />of debris. The riprap lining was noted to be in good condition. <br />A riprap lined channel extends from the edge of the reclaimed portals bench down a steep slope and into the <br />drainage entering the sediment pond. The channel was observed to be in the same condition as previous Division <br />inspections. The erosional rill on the east side of the channel had not increased in size since the Division’s <br />previous inspection. The remainder of the channel was stable with no new erosional features identified (Photo 2). <br />The riprap in the channel was in good condition. <br /> <br />RECLAMATION SUCCESS - Rule 4.15, Rule 3: <br />The reclaimed haul road is composed of a lower, middle and upper section. The lower portion of the haul road <br />was stable with no new erosional features (Photo 3 and 4). Rills have been observed in past Division inspections <br />on the lower portion of the reclaimed haul road. The rills did not appear to have increased in size or depth. The
