• (Page 2) • <br />MINE ID rY OR PROSPECTING ID rX M-1977-407 <br />INSPECTION DATE 3-15-2000 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS SSS <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This was a partial routine monitoring inspection conducted as part of the Division's ongoing monitoring program for mine <br />sites in Colorado. <br />There are some stockpiles of processed material on site, some of which are a reject material. The Fait is currently inactive <br />but Montrose County indicated that they will be removing or relocating the stockpiles to facilitate thy: revised mining plans <br />proposed in the 1997 112c conversion application. <br />The two acre area just north of the access road, described in the Division's 11-5-97 inspection report is beginning to <br />support some vegetation. It does not appear that extensive reclamation tasks were performed here, but vegetation <br />establishment Imostly shrubby species) appears to be occurring. This area should be monitored to determine if additional <br />reclamation tasks need to be performed. The patch of knapweed noted in the 1 1-5-97 inspection •eport was not noted <br />during this inspection. <br />The mine identification sign is in place and in compliance. Permit boundary markers are in place, but additional markers <br />would be beneficial to prevent potential mining disturbance outside the approved permit boundary. <br />The county is now using the more northern pre-existing road to access the site due to it's less steep grade. The road <br />appears to be stable. <br />Stormwater control berms were in place and no significant erosion was noted. <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to: <br />Division of Minerals and Geology, 701 Camino Del Rio, Room 125, Durango, Colorado 81301, Attn: Steve Shuey, phone <br />no. 970-247-5062. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME Brian Wilson <br />OPERATOR Montrose County <br />STREET P. 0.
