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 <br />during the inspection and the facts or evidence supporting the enforcement action. <br />This was a complete inspection of the East Side Mine conducted by Jim Burnell of CDMG, on <br />Wednesday, 18 October 2006. The weather was cool and cloudy. The mine site was deserted. <br />The permit sign was present at the entrance road and the information was correct. The other signs <br />were erected in the appropriate locations. <br />The site is well vegetated with western wheatgrass, sagebrush, rabbitbrush, some milkvetch and <br />some Indian rice grass and lactuca along with lesser proportions of other forbs. There was a good bit <br />of cheatgrass at the north end of the mine site. <br />The former pond site has been reclaimed. That, too, was well vegetated, although there were some <br />patches of cheatgrass. The outslope of the site below the pond was stable with no signs of erosion. <br />A water supply well has been drilled on the former (proposed) waste disposal site. Brush has been <br />crushed around the well. <br />There was no sign of erosion or instability on the site, including the rip-rapped channels running <br />down the steep slope to the creek. The creek was running strong. <br />Records were checked at the Garfield County Courthouse. See the attached sheet for details. <br />
