This was a partial inspection of the Marr Mine conducted by Jim Stark of CDMG. The mine has been reclaimed. The weather was cool and overcast and the ground was damp. Signs and Markers: All of the necessary signs were posted at the mine site and loadout (Mine ID signs, topsoil stockpile signs, permit boundary signs, etc.). Roads: -The access road to the loadout was well maintained and in good condition. -The permanent light use road (former haul road) that remains on the site is also well maintained and in good condition. Hvdroloaic Balance: - Pond A was dry at the time of this inspection. The pond was well vegetated and in good condition. - Ponds B and C were also dry. They were well vegetated and in good condition. - Pond D contained water but was not discharging. The pond was well vegetated and in good condition. - Pond E contained water but was not discharging, The two culverts that run from the outfall under the road are half full of sediment and need to be cleaned out. The pond was well vegetated and in good condition. - Pond F was dry. It was well vegetated and in good condition. - Pond G was dry. It was well vegetated and in good condition. - All four of the permanent drainages (PD1 and PD2 in the 720 Pit, PD3 in Pit 1 and PD4, also in Pit 1) were well vegetated and in good condition. None of the drainages showed any signs of erosion. -The pond at the loadout contained water several feet below the discharge pipe. The pond was well vegetated and in good condition. Revegetation/Reclamation Success: The entire mine site has been revegetated. The vegetation in the Marr Pit area is not as dense as that in the other areas but there does not appear to be any problem with erosion. Vegetation is beginning to grow in the rill and gully area that was recently fixed in the Marr Pit Area. The vegetation at the loadout is growing nicely. There are no erosional problems at the loadout. Slides and Damage: The area in the Marr Pit that was reworked because of erosion has been reseeded. It appears to be stable at this point. The rill and gully areas in Pit 1 also appear to be stable. These areas will be monitored for continued stability.
