<br />(Page 3) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID # M-77-215 <br />INSPECTION DATE 8-13-93 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS ACS <br />be broken up and buried beneath a minimum of 2 feet of earth materials. The cut elope at the <br />west edge of the mill area should be back-filled and revegetated. <br />Flow in windy gulch is currently routed through a culvert at the toe of the waste dump. The <br />operator proposes to construct a channel at the toe of the dump which will accept windy gulch <br />flow if and when the culvert becomes plugged. This scheme ie acceptable to the Division with <br />the condition that the operator submit a design for the constructed channel that demonstrates <br />that it will pass the PMP event, and will not erode the toe of the dump. The operator must <br />also demonstrate, through acid-base accounting or similar analysis, that the mine waste will <br />not degrade windy gulch waters flowing through the constructed channel. Homestake has <br />notified the Division that this information is being prepared for submittal. <br />Both the 9360 and 9700 level portals have been back-filled. The portal closures are <br />acceptable for final reclamation. Trees planted at the 9700 level are doing remarkably well <br />with a very good survival percentage. The poet-mining fate for the road leading to the 9700 <br />level was discussed. Apparently, the road will not be reclaimed ae it serves to access <br />private land up windy gulch. The operator should submit a summary of roads within the permit <br />area that will not be reclaimed, and document the non-mining use of roads that are proposed <br />to remain in place. <br />I & E Contact Addreea <br />NAME <br />cc: Jim Stevens, DMG <br />STREET 650 California Street <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP San Francisco, CA 94108 <br />
