Below are comments on the inspection. The comments include discussion of observations made during

This was a complete inspection of the Carbon Junction Mine conducted by Tom Kaldenbach of CDMG. No
one represented the operator during the field portion of the inspection. Matt Gavin of Goff Engineering
and Surveying was present during the records check at the Goff office. The gravel operation was active
on the site. The ground was dry.
Availability of Records
All required records were available (see attached list).
Signs and Markers
The mine i.d. sign is properly displayed at the entrance.
Roads
Gullies in the access road to the North pit have been stabilized with cobbles.
Hydrologic Balance
Water in both Ponds 1 and 2 was approximately 2 feet deep. The water levels were a few feet below
discharge. Embankments of both ponds were well-vegetated and appeared stable. Discharge structures
were in good condition on both ponds.
No problems were found with monitoring welll7-B.
Backfill and Grading
No further backfilling has been done in the North pit since last year.
The South pit backfilling, regrading, and topsoiling appears complete (Photo 1). There were no rill orgully
problems on the reclaimed slope.
Much of the length of the reconstructed Carbon Junction channel has been lined with large boulders.
Sediment Deaosit
Coal waste rock has accumulated next to the stream channel of Carbon Junction Canyon (Photo 2).
This deposit covers an area of several square yards. The material appears to have been washed
down from the north end of the slope of the North pit. The deposit is within the area of maximum
disturbance as shown on Map 5-6 of the permit application.
