111. Comments/Compliance <br />This was an aerial inspection conducted by Jim Burnell of CDMG from photos taken on the <br />afternoon of Monday, August 18, 2003. The mine site was quiet and deserted. Weather <br />was sunny. The ground was clear. <br />There was no sign of instability or erosion on the west side of Hubbard Creek. The former <br />stockpile area was very brown, as the vegetation had dried for the summer. That area is <br />stable also. <br />The benches -both upper and lower -were stable. There was no indication of instability on <br />either bench, the sparsely-vegetated areas to the south ends of both benches stands our <br />very clearly on the air photos, with the vegetation brown and dry there also. The small seep <br />at the north end of the lower bench did not appear to be seeping. <br />Pond 5 contained no water. The ditches were dry. Hubbard Creek was flowing and the <br />water was clear both above and below the Blue Ribbon Mine area. <br />The upper road to the upper bench showed no sign of instability or erosion. The lower road <br />also appeared to be stable. <br />Pond 3 and 4 were both empty. The embankments appeared stable in the air photos. <br />The lower access road showed no signs of instability or erosion. <br />The access road (Hubbard Canyon road) appears in good condition. <br />
