III. COMMENTS -COMPLIANCE <br />HG Mine C-80-003 <br />7 May 04 <br />Page 1/1 <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 during <br />the inspection and the facts or evidence supporting the enforcement action. <br />This was a complete inspection of the Hayden Gulch Mine conducted by Jim Stark of <br />CDMG. The mine has gone through a Phase I and Phase II Bond Release on all but <br />approximately nine acres. The mine is currently in its tenth year of liability. The <br />weather was cool and clear and the ground was damp. At this time, all of the snow <br />has melted from the HG mine site. <br />All of the necessary records were available in the Montgomery Watson Harza offices <br />in Steamboat Springs. See the records checklist at the end of this inspection for more <br />details. <br />Shrub parcel HG-08 was wet on the north-facing slope, with water from the spoil <br />spring running off the slope into the pond. There were no erosional problems from <br />the run-off this spring. The parcel was stable and well vegetated. The pond <br />contained water and was discharging at the time of the inspection (although the <br />pond is no longer a part of the HG Mine permit). <br />The road from parcel HG-OS to parcel E and the 1997 slump area has some minor <br />rutting but remains stable. <br />Shrub Parcel E was damp at the time of the inspection. The parcel was well <br />vegetated and stable and no erosional problems were noted. <br />The 1997 slump area was damp at the time of the inspection. The area was well <br />vegetated and stable. All of the steel stakes placed across the slope remained in <br />alignment. No erosional problems were noted as a result of the runoff this spring. <br />Shrub parcel 003 was well vegetated and appeared to be stable at the time of the <br />inspection. There were no erosional problems noted on the parcel due to the runoff <br />this spring. Pond 003 contained water but was not discharging at the time of the <br />inspection. <br />Overall the entire site was very well vegetated and in good condition. <br />
