III. COMMENTS -COMPLIANCE <br />This was a complete inspection conducted by Jim Burnell of the CDMG on the morning of <br />February 13, 2001. Weather was overcast and cool, with intermittent snow showers. The mine <br />site was quiet and deserted. <br />The access road was a mostly snow free while the mine site itself was entirely snow-covered <br />with several inches of crusted snow. <br />Signs were in place. <br />The sediment pond contained snow and meltwater, but the level was 14 inches below the gated <br />discharge pipe. The level of the treatment pond for water from the Edwards portal spring was <br />likewise 14" below the emergency discharge. Water was dischazging steadily, however, at <br />about 20 gpm. The water temperature was cold, but the water retained that dark brown color <br />that has been characteristic of this discharge since its appeazance. That 20 gpm was flowing <br />from the slide mass on the slope at the South end of the yard. <br />There was no evidence of any recent movement on the slide mass. The slide and the entire slope <br />was covered with snow. <br />There was no disturbance at the east end of the site. <br />The perimeter ditch contained some deadfall but is easily capable of carrying sufficient water. <br />The office building was secured. <br />Outside the office buildings are bags of thistle that were cut last fall. These bags are degrading <br />and thistle seed is open to wind dispersion from some of the bags. These bags should be <br />removed and disposed properly. <br />
