t <br />GEC <br />Revoked -DMG administered <br />The Corley Co. (landowner) <br />PO Box 1821 <br />Colorado Springs, CO 80901 <br />GEC Strip <br />C-037-81 <br />Partial special focus inspection <br />2/7/2000 <br />Mitch Rollings, 370, OSM <br />Dave Berry, DMG <br />This was a partial inspection to determine if there are any off site impacts from this bond <br />forfeited site. <br />Main mining area. There are two large drainages from the East and West Pits. Rills and <br />gullies characterize the reclaimed slopes. There has been massive soil movement in both <br />of the large drainages. We do not consider these stable watersheds at this time. It is <br />about seven miles to the nearest perennial receiving stream. The only existing <br />sedimentation pond is the pond along the road to the Southfield Mine. This pond does <br />not intercept the areas with the most soil movement. <br />Oddly enough, the downstream undisturbed (by direct mining operations) channel does <br />not reflect the degree to which there has been soil erosion and loss on the mine site. <br />There are no large areas of obvious deposition. Vegetation die-off from deposition is not <br />evident. There are bits and pieces of material on the surface which we suspect originated <br />on the mine site. The soil lost from the mine HAD to have been deposited here, but it <br />blends well with [he area. <br />Section 24 -Duck Pond. No off site impacts. <br />Dave will ask Harry Ranney to get some aerial photos of the site when he flies next. <br />
