<br />III. COMMENTS - COMPLIANCE <br />Below are comments on the inspection. The comments include discussion ofi <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 a partial inspection conducted by Kent Gorham of the Colorado <br />Division of Minerals and Geology. This site is entirely reclaimed, with a <br />total reclaimed area of about seven acres. Ground conditions on this day <br />were dry and the weather was cool and windy. <br />Signs and Markers <br />The mine ID sign had been blown down by the high winds the previous two <br />days. It can be easily re-nailed to the posts at the next convenient <br />opportunity. The sign was found in compliance with Rules 4.02 and 4.30. <br />Hydrologic Balance <br />The sediment pond was in good condition and held a small pool ofi water <br />but did not show any evidence of discharge. <br />Revegetation <br />The reclaimed area is greening up due to good soil moisture and warming <br />conditions. Grasses appear abundant and not dominated by one or two <br />individual species. A few thistles were observed but weeds are not a <br />significant problem at this site. The area had not been grazed this <br />year. The Division recommends that the site not be grazed this season to <br />allow further regeneration of the re-seeded species. <br />Slides and Damage <br />The small subsidence fieature repaired last year shows no sign of <br />settlement or further collapse. <br />Overall the site appeared in excellent condition for early spring. <br />Page 3 <br />
