III. COMMENTS - COMPLIANCE <br />Below are comments on the inspection. The comments include discussion of <br />observations made during the inspection. Comments also describe any enforcement <br />actions taken during the inspection and the facts or evidence supporting the <br />enforcement action. <br />This was a partial inspection conducted by Kent Gorham of the Colorado <br />Division of Minerals and Geology. Ron Thompson represented Basin <br />Resources during the inspection. This former underground mine is now <br />reclaimed. Activities consist mainly of monitoring and maintenance. <br />Ground conditions on this day were dry and the weather was mild. <br />Revegetation <br />Vegetation is in the very early stages of growth for the coming season. <br />Cicer milkvetch sprouting was noted and cool season grasses are showing <br />signs of growth. The NW-1 fan site (Tatum fan) has been mulched and <br />seeded. Winds have blown the mulch around to some extent but mulch cover <br />is relatively good. Straw bales have been located along the northeast <br />corner of this reclaimed area for temporary sediment control. No <br />sprouting of seeded species was observed at this location. <br />Subsidence <br />The portal area shows continued signs of settlement. A small settlement <br />crack was noted bordering the small depression that measures about 30 <br />feet square. Filling or grading of this area will likely be necessary <br />until settlement ceases to ensure proper drainage. <br />The site appears in excellent condition for early spring. <br />Page 3 <br />
