The mine site was entirely snow covered at the time of the inspection. Availability of Records Records were reviewed at the Montgomery Watson Harza office in Steamboat Springs on the afternoon of December 11, 2002. All required records were available for review. Please see the attached Availability of Records checklist. Some minor problems were noted with general organization of the files. Many items that needed to be reviewed were available, but had not yet been filed in the appropriate location. The Division recommends that the files be updated and kept current on a regulaz basis. Roads Road surfaces were snow covered throughout the mine site. Access was very limited due to the icy and snowpacked road conditions. Perimeter azeas at the site were well maintained and no problems were noted. Loadout The entrance road to the loadout was snow covered, but passable. The entire loadout was snow covered. The entrance gate was open and men were working at the site at the time of the inspection. Some rills and gullies aze forming on the reclaimed slope (former lumber mill property located immediately west of the site).
