111. Comments/Compliance <br />This was a partial inspection conducted by Jim Burnell of CDMG on the morning of <br />Thursday, June 19, 2003. This site was quiet and deserted. The weather was clear and <br />sunny. <br />At the East Mine, the area below the road that was amended last year showed excellent <br />revegetation. There was no evidence of erosion at the bottom of the slope. Unfortunately <br />there was a lot of whitetop in several patches along with new growth of an unidentified thistle, <br />particularly at the area near the road. The weed authorities at Gunnison County were <br />contacted in April and arrangements made to spray the infestation, but that had not yet been <br />done. There was no evidence of offsite impact along the river. <br />The road ditches were dry. The road itself was in good repair. The area above the road <br />showed no evidence of instability or erosion and also showed excellent revegetation except <br />for some of the same thistle that was noted below the road. There did not appear to have <br />been any recent movement on the slumps from the top down over the road. <br />At the Middle Mine, there was likewise good vegetation growth. There were no signs of <br />erosion or instability that haven't been there before. Whitetop appeared both above and <br />below the road. <br />At the West Mine, the vegetation is excellent, with thick grasses and numerous shrubs. <br />Weeds present no problem at the West Mine. The pond contained a small amount of <br />standing water. Pond embankments were stable. There was no evidence of siltation <br />escaping from the site. The river was running high but had cleared since the last inspection. <br />
