III. COMMENTS -COMPLIANCE <br />(~"~ ~ c --Yr~o~~ <br />~S /~ a5?~r0a tea' <br />Below are comments on the inspection. The comments include discussion of observations <br />made during the inspection. Comments also describe any enforcement actions taken during <br />the inspection and the facts or evidence supporting the enforcement action. <br />This was a complete inspection of the GEC mine conducted by Jim Stark of CDMG. <br />The bond for this site has been forteited and reclamation was completed by DMG. <br />The weather was cold and overcast and the ground was damp. <br />The access road to the East and West Pit areas is a little rutted but in overall good <br />condition. The East Pit drainage remains in good shape. The area has received <br />some rain over the past several days and the East Pit drainage appears to have <br />remained stable. The areas around the concrete drop structures that have failed <br />appear to be stable at this time. The riprap that was placed in the two gullies below <br />the road and the top of the drainage appears to still be stable and is continuing to fill <br />in with sediment. These, too, seem to be in good shape after the rains. There was still <br />water in Magpie Creek in the bottom part of the East Pit drainage (as there has been <br />over the last several inspections). Both the East and West Pit areas seemed to be well <br />vegetated and in good condition. These areas were used for grazing over the <br />summer and appear to be in good condition. <br />Chen's Hill has some gullying on the North side but is well vegetated and stable. The <br />gullies do not appear to have grown in size or number over the past few years (or in <br />response to the recent rains). There was water in Magpie creek along the base of <br />Chen's Hill. There are a large number of trees growing on the top of the hill. <br />The Orphan Pit, Tipple and Duck Pond areas appeared to be well vegetated and in <br />good condition. The road to the Section 24 areas is the Corley Mountain Ranch <br />Road. This road is well maintained and in good condition. <br />Overall the entire site is in good condition and appears to be stabilized to the extent <br />possible. <br />
