/A <br />r <br />Inspection Report <br />Permit: C-81-026 <br />Inspection date: 02-01-94 <br />Company: Slurco Corporation <br />P. O. Box 281304 <br />Lakewood, CO 80228-8304 <br />A complete random sample inspection was conducted at this mine <br />site on February 1, 1994. Participants were Edzel R. Pugh, <br />representing the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and <br />Enforcement (OSM) and Randy Price, representing the Colorado <br />Department of Natural Resources, Division of Minerals and <br />Geology (DMGj. <br />The weather was clear and sunny, but cold (8 degrees F at noon <br />in nearby Walden, CO) and the wind blew constantly at <br />approximately 15 MPH for the duration of the inspection. The <br />ground was covered with snow ranging in depth from bare, in <br />one small spot, to several feet in drifts on the west side of <br />the permit. <br />Due to drifting snow in the road we were compelled to walk the <br />last half-mile to the mine site. With the aid of snowshoes we <br />were able to traverse the critical areas of this reclaimed '. <br />surface mine with little difficulty. The pond embankments <br />appeared to be stable and the primary and emergency spillways <br />were clear of debris. The ponds did not appear to have any <br />accumulation of water; however, a small pool may have been <br />frozen and hidden by the snow. The permitted area was fenced. <br />The permit identification sign was weathered and will need to <br />be replaced soon. Because of the snow cover, vegetation and <br />erosion was practically impossible to evaluate on most of the <br />reclaimed area. There did not appear to be any deep rills or <br />gullies. <br />A review of the records was conducted at the courthouse in <br />Walden, CO. The following documents were found: <br />1. Permit renewal (expires 12-01-96) <br />2. Findings document <br />3. Liability Insurance (expires 07-01-94) <br />4. Rill and Gully Report for 1993 <br />5. Annual Reclamation Report <br />6. Annual Hydrological Monitoring Report (01-06-94) <br />7. Quarterly Pond Inspection Report (current to last <br />quarter) <br />8. As-Built Certifications for Ponds #1 and #2 <br />9. NPDES Permit (valid thru 06-30-97) <br />10. Water Monitoring Reports for the past four <br />3~~ <br />
