III. COMMENTS COMPLIANCE <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 conducted by Kent Gorham of the Colorado Division <br />of Minerals and Geology. This former underground mine is reclaimed. Some <br />buildings remain as permanent for use by the landowner. Ground conditions on this <br />day were snow-covered and the weather was clear and windy. <br />Availability of Records <br />The public copy of the mine records is kept at the Clerk and Recorders Office at <br />the Las Animas County Courthouse in Trinidad. All required records were found as <br />detailed on the attached checklist. <br />Hvdrologic Balance <br />The sediment pond was snow-covered and appeared to hold only a small amount of <br />water. The pond embankment appeared intact and normal. There was no evidence of <br />any runoff since the last on-the-ground inspection. The permanent diversion <br />through the site appeared normal. <br />Processino Waste <br />The 100-year diversion ditch behind the shop building has been cleaned of sediment <br />deposition recently. The ditch was photographed and one of those photos is <br />included. No slides, slumps, or damage to the waste bank or the steeper slope <br />areas were noted. The south-facing slope above the waste bank was snow-covered <br />but melting was beginning due to warming temperatures. Overall, no problems were <br />noted warranting on-the-ground inspection. <br />:~ ~-a: _- ~. ..: <br />~> = '`; <br />'~ •~s:~ <br />r <br />_~;- ~ d-~ <br />`~ 2}~ <br />,. <br />3 <br />
