This was a partial inspection conducted by Kent Gorham of the Colorado Division of Minerals
and Geology. This former underground mine is reclaimed. Remaining buildings and
structures are approved to remain as permanent structures Ground conditions were dry in
exposed areas and the weather was cool and windy, Mr. Albert luppa, was present prior to
beginning the inspection. George Patterson of EFCI and a local contractor were on-site
performing maintenance work on the riprap section refuse ditch #1
Roads
The mine access road was found in good condition. Surfacing material added within the last
year is holding up well The repair of the access road ditch east of the mine entrance gate is
also showing no sign of damage or down-cutting.
Hydrologic Balance
Due to a break in the weather and dry
surface conditions. the operator was
on-site conducting repairs to the south
side of the riprap section of refuse
ditch #1 Side cutting of the ditch had
resulted in some erasion along the
south side. The operator was re-
positioning material and re-shaping the
inner portions of the ditch and
repairing the area adjacent to the
ditch. Stockpiled rock was also
observed being placed along the
inside portions of this ditch,
Contour ditches seem to be holding up
well and no breaching of the outslopes of
these ditches was noted. The lone
sediment pond at the site was holding
water in the south half of the pond and
was not discharging.
Revectetation
Cattle were not observed on the site. The
area appears lightly grazed from approved
grazing activities by the landowner
