• (Page 21 • <br />MINE ID N OR PROSPECTING ID JI M-1978-222 UG <br />INSPECTION DATE 6/4 01 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS RCO <br />This partial inspection was performed as part of the Division's monitoring of Hard Rock and Metals 110 permits. The <br />operator was contacted about the inspection, and a time was arranged to meet at the site. The operator named on page <br />one was present throughout the first half of the inspection. After the operator left the site by vehicle, this inspector <br />continued to attempt to locate additional sites under this permit. <br />This group of sites is closely associated with a nearby permitted site in the Monogram - Jo Dandy permit, no. M-1977-293. <br />Many of the past maps and reports submitted for each of these permits include sites from both permits. This plus the fact <br />that these sites lie in areas of scattered pre-law disturbance tends to help hide the sites actually included in the permit area. <br />A couple new maps were hand delivered by the operator during the inspection (which was very appreciated) though they <br />did not contain all the basic necessary features of a current permit area map. Since the file does not contain anv current <br />mans which combine toooaraohv, roads, and mine features, at a minimum, the topic of "records" is noted in this report <br />as a oroblem. See the last oaae for the correction date. <br />None of the sites located were found to have anv permit ID Sian or anv permit boundary markers This is noted as a <br />oroblem under the tonic of "sians and markers." See the last oaae for the correction date. <br />The following sites were field located during this inspection: Great Hesper and Monogram Pit. A few of the sites were <br />nearly located: Buckhorn Mine, Mary Anne 4, Capella Mine land vent holel• Some sites were not found: Canopus portals, <br />Gray-Black Point prospects, Sunny Side prospect. <br />Some of the site had been partially reclaimed, as were described by the former operator in 1995-1996. Limited surface <br />grading, backfilling of portals and vents, and revegetation had been carried out. Of the graded and revegetated areas <br />observed, grading was rough but adequate, and vegetation was thin and weedy. No noxious weeds were present (except <br />on the county roadsl• The sites should be seeded again to try to attain a better crop of desireable vegetation. No settling <br />of backfilled material was observed, but closer verification should be made, by someone familiar with all such features in <br />the affected area. There was no significant amount of debris to remove. Some roads had been blocked, and most have <br />become vegetated; in a few years all will be impassable to vehicles. <br />The bond amount will be reviewed, along with the details of all outstanding reclamation. When new figures have been <br />prepared they will be sent to the operator. <br />This permit will be reinspected in the near future, in an attempt to locate all of the sites. All responses or questions about <br />this inspection report should be directed to this inspector at the Division's Durango Field Office.
