Cox <br />overcast, sporadic rain, cool <br />3:15 PM <br />Partial <br />Bob Goemmel <br />I. General Comments <br />This was a partial inspection of the mine site. All sediment ponds and <br />ditches were properly maintained. <br />The Petro States oil well site was inspected. Pictures of the site were <br />taken. Oil wastes have been discharged into an open pit evacuated in coarse, <br />colluvial-glacial out wash deposits, other oil spillage and purging of the <br />well have occurred on site. It is evident that the Petro States well probably <br />caused the pollution of the ground water system in Mann Draw. The petroleum <br />odors and pollution detected in the monitoring wells in Mann Draw are not the <br />result of the Bourg Strip's mining operation. The petroleum products observed <br />in the monitoring well are not materials found uncontrolled on site. Also <br />observed petroleum and gas only appear in the monitoring well after the <br />drilling the Petro States well upstream of the mine in Mann Draw. <br />423 Centennial Building, 1313 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado 80203 Tel.
