e <br />III. COMMENTS - COMPLIANCE <br />Below are comments on the inspection. The comments include discussion of <br />observations made during the inspection. Comments also describe any <br />enforcement actions taken during the inspection and the facts or evidence <br />supporting the enforcement action. <br />This was an complete inspection conducted by Tom Kaldenbach of the Colorado <br />Division of Minerals and Geology. No one else was present. The ground was <br />dry. Rain apparently has not fallen for several days. <br />AVAILABILITY OF RECORDS <br />The records checklist is attached. The following documents identified as <br />missing during the June 1998 inspection have been either inserted in the <br />file or otherwise resolved: <br />Most of the last 3 years' inspection reports. Still missing are <br />reports for July, August, October, and November 1997, and January <br />through July 1998. Greg Lewicki says he is unable to locate those <br />reports. The Division will insert copies of those reports in the file <br />on the next inspection. <br />2. Transfers/Succession of Operator. This form is not needed in the file <br />because there has been no transfer or succession. Past notations in <br />inspection reports that the form is present were in error. <br />3. Midterm review documents. <br />The following documents could not be located in the file: <br />1. The newest mining permit (renewed in RN-03 in 1998). <br />document for RN-03 is in the fiile, but not the permit <br />2. Underground mining notifications to landowners. (DMG <br />research this.

Trout Creek <br />was filowing at a much lower level than in June. There was no evidence left <br />in the side channel of the creek of the probable algal bloom found during <br />the April 1998 inspection. <br />Page 3 <br />
