III. COMMENTS -COMPLIANCE <br />Below are comments on the inspection. The comments include discussion of observations made during <br />the inspection. Comments also describe any enforcement actions taken during the inspection and the <br />facts or evidence supporting the enforcement action. <br />This was a partial inspection conducted by Tom Kaldenbach of the Colorado Division of Minerals and <br />Geology. Ross Gubka represented the operator. The ground was wet in places. With the operator's <br />consent, this report was issued from the Denver offce. <br />Sins and Markers <br />Mine i.d. signs and blasting warning signs were properly displayed at two entrances to the mine. <br />Hydrolo¢ic Balance <br />The Division is reviewing TR-52 for proposed new pond 012. During the inspection we visited the site <br />of the proposed new pond. The site is on an alluvial terrace next to Tuttle Draw. There is no <br />development near the pond. Failure of a pond at this location would possibly result in erosion next to <br />Tuttle Draw, but would not likely be a safety hazard or cause significant environmental damage. <br />I measured conductivity at outfall 007 which was dischazging less than 200 gpm to Calamity Draw. <br />Part of the discharge from this outfall is water pumped from the pit. I also measured conductivity in <br />Calamity Draw both upstream and downstream from 007. All three measurements were approximately <br />2600 umhos/cm, indicating the discharge was not causing excessive salt loading in this stream. <br />
