Matt Gavin of Goff <br />Engineering and Surveying was present during the records check at the Goff office. The gravel operation <br />was active on the site. The ground was dry. With the consent of the operator's representative, this report <br />was filed from the Denver office. <br />Availability of Records <br />All required records were available (see attached list). <br />Signs and Markers <br />The mine i.d. sign is properly displayed at the entrance. <br />Roads <br />Gullies in the access road to the North pit have been stabilized with cobbles. Water bars have recently <br />been put in place to direct runoff off of the road and to discourage public access to the North pit. <br />Hydrologic Balance <br />Ponds 1 and 2 were dry. Embankments of both ponds were well-vegetated and appeared stable. Re- <br />establishment of outtall 001 at pond 1 awaits CWCD's approval of an amendment to the CDPS permit,. <br />The operator requested the amendment in Fall 2003. <br />Backfill and Gradin <br />No further backfilling has been done in the North pit since last year and no further work has been done on <br />the reconstruction of Carbon Junction channel since at least April 2004.
