• (Page 2) • <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID # M-88-081 <br />INSPECTION DATE 5/24/96 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS ACS <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />The mining operation was inactive at the time of this inspection. Efforts to contact the <br />operator by telephone to schedule this inspection had failed. If the operation will be <br />inactive for more than one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days, the operator must file a <br />Notice of Temporary Cessation in accordance with Rule 1.13 of the Hard Rock/Metal Mining <br />Rules and Regulations of the Mined Land Reclamation Board. <br />The portal area of the Phil Sheridan Tunnel was inspected. There was no visible flow from <br />the tunnel at the time of this inspection, and no surface discharge to the small draw <br />adjacent to t:he portal location (this draw ie tributary to Four Mile Canyon Creek). There <br />were two ema.ll, shallow pools of standing water outby of the portal hatch. The pH of the <br />inby pool was measured to be 8.12 e.u. at a temperature of 55.8DF. No water samples were <br />submitted for analysis since there ie currently no discharge. East-West Mining Corp. will <br />have to obtain a CDPS Permit from the Water Quality Control Division prior to allowing any <br />discharge to occur from the Phil Sheridan Tunnel. <br />The waste rock dump east of the mine yard was inspected. It appears that the operator has <br />placed additional rock on this dump subsequent to the Division's 1/23/96 inspection of this <br />site. The operator ie reminded that this ie not a permitted waste rock disposal location. <br />Disposal of waste rock in this dump was allowed to complete backfilling of the historic mine <br />shaft only. Any further disposal of waste rock at this location will be considered a <br />Possible Violation (PV) against the permit and the Mined Land Reclamation Act. As stated in <br />the Division's 1/23/96 inspection report, any future waste rock disposal must take place <br />within the fenced mine yard area in accordance with the approved mine plan. <br />cc: Carl Mount, DMG <br />Kathleen Sullivan <br />Colorado Dept. of Public <br />Health and Environment <br />WQCD-PE-82 <br />4300 Cherry Creek Dr. S. <br />Denver, CO 80222-1530 <br />Gene Branson <br />4 Misty Vale Court <br />Sunshine Canyon <br />Boulder, CO 80302 <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME Rockv Conner <br />OPERATOR East-West Minino Corn., Inc. <br />STREET 999 Pinion Hills Drive <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP Carson Citv.
