III. COMMENTS -COMPLIANCE <br />Below are comments on the inspection. The comments include discussion of observations <br />made during the inspection. Comments also describe any enforcement actions taken during <br />the inspection and the facts or evidence supporting the enforcement action. <br />CEC has conducted weed management practices for control of cheatgrass in area 18 as well as other <br />reclamation azeas not included in this bond release application. CEC works with the Weld County <br />extension service to time burning of the cheatgrass for maximum mortality. Evidence of the June 2005 <br />burning of the cheatgrass was noted in azea 18. These burned areas had a nice emergence of the <br />desirable perennial grasses. <br />Reclaimed pazcels that aze adjacent to undisturbed azeas; 18, 14 and 8, grade nicely into the <br />undisturbed topography with no ditches or berms separating these topographies. Runoff from the <br />undisturbed azeas would flow onto the reclaimed areas and be controlled by the existing drainage <br />controls existing on the mine site. <br />Six (6) pages of photographs accompany this report. <br />
