Southfield Mine, p$. 2 <br />We walked and evaluated the shrub clumps, and success appears high without doing any <br />sampling. Grasses-forbs are becoming established site wide. Very little erosion was evident, and <br />where erosion was repaired on the north face of the reclaimed refuse pile it is stable and well <br />vegetated. Mr. Gorham requested that the roof bolts used to anchor straw bales be removed or <br />pounded below ground level for safety reasons. The concrete tunnel-loadout was the only facility <br />stmcture left at the landowners request to facilitate the post mining land use, and this area is <br />stable. The Magpie Creek diversion is approved as permanent and it is very well vegetated and <br />stable. <br />Pond 5 at the mine entrance along the road was dry and stable, no problems noted here. Both <br />sediment ponds at the mine facility area are to be removed (Pond 5 and the refuse pile pond). <br />We walked and evaluated the refuse pile; it is well vegetated and stable with no problems noted. <br />This concluded the inspection. <br />Please address any questions concerning this inspection report to Henry Austin at <br />haustin(u~osmre.gov or to (303) 844-1400 x1466. <br />::t <br />
