• (Page 2) <br />MINE ID !t OR PROSPECTING ID q M-1990-114 <br />INSPECTION DATE 11-22-2000 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS SSS <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This was a brief partial inspection conducted as follow-up to weed problems noted in the previous inspection report and <br />to evaluate if spring seeding of the topsoil stockpiles was showing any success.. <br />The latest annual report for this pit, received on October 25, 2000 states that weed control was performed by Chaffee <br />County under co ttract to Saguache County. It is not expected that weed control spaying would control the problem the <br />first year of application. The site still has a significant weed component and will require continued weed control <br />applications. Saguache County will need to submit a copy of the weed control measures performed by Chaffee County, <br />including the am~~unt and type of herbicide used. Additionally, a plan for future weed control should be submitted. The <br />weed problem wtis noted in a previous inspection report, so it is not listed as a problem in this report. However, Saguache <br />County is reminded that the correction due date for this problem was is set for 12-31-2000. The above specified weed <br />control information must be submitted by that date to correct this problem. <br />The mine identification sign noted in the previous report was no longer located at the site. A replacement sign must be <br />reinstalled at the access to the site. <br />Erosion described in previous inspection reports didn't appear to have gotten any worse and is still contained within the <br />pit areas, on pit slopes that are not yet topsoiled or in their final reclamation configuration. Therefore, this erosion is not <br />considered to be 3 problem. <br />Noland Gulch appears to be stable and does not appear to be adversely affected by the mining operation. <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to Steve Shuey at the Division's Durango Field Office.
