COMMENTS • COMPLIANCE Below are comments on the inspection The comments include discussion of observations made during the mspection Comments also describe any enforcement actions taken during the inspection and the facts or evidence supporting the enforcement action This was a partial mspection conducted by Kent Gorham of the Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology. This former underground mine was reclaimed and reseeded in 1996 and early 1997 Ground conditions on this day were generally dry. The weather was unseasonably mild for January. During the inspection, Mr Thompson provided me with a proposed public notice for a forthcoming bond release application for the work recently completed at the NW- 1 vent fan shaft I reviewed the notice and gave Mr Thompson the go-ahead to publish the notice. Signs and Markers The mine entry sign was intact on a pole north of the railroad ROW but had slid down to the ground. Please affix this sign at an appropriate height as soon as possible. Offsde Support Facddies All work has been completed at the NW-1 ventilation fan site Mulch had been applied on the surface of the disturbed area of the pad and on the reclaimed access road down to the windmill No marker or sign marked the former location of the shaft. _ etc'' _ .. • -. Mr. Thompson will report this work in the 2004 Annual Reclamation Report. If the area had been previously reported as reclaimed. narrative should describe that due to the nature and scope of the work involved, the reworking of the area restarts the 10-year revegetation liability period for this area. The operator may also want to evaluate the need for re-seeding of the former access road Overall, the site appeared in good condition for the winter season. The operator is reminded to please complete repair of the reference area fence. NW-1 fan site from above -north side NW-1 fan site from above-south side
