The infestation <br />of toadflax noted in previous inspections appears to be under control. <br />No significant erosional features were noted on the affected areas of the site. <br />The operator indicated that no excavation occurred at the site this past year. Mining is planned for the upcoming season. <br />The river appears to have recharged the gravel deposit in the permit area, though it has taken more than one year due to <br />low spring runoff rates the past couple of years. The river banks in the vicinity of the pit appear to be stabile, with natural <br />vegetation becoming well established on the north permit boundary and west permit boundary that lies north of the river. <br />The site currently has some stockpiled material on site. The concrete plant that was previously located near the east end <br />of the processing area has been removed. A crusher remains on site. <br />The reclamation cost estimate was not recalculated as part of this inspection. The current estimate was recalculated less <br />than three years ago and the operation is in compliance with the approved mine plan and reclamation plan. Therefore, the <br />current financial warranty is believed to be adequate to reclaim the site per the approved reclamation plan. <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to Steve Shuey at the Division's Durango Field Office.
