III. Comments/Compliance <br />This was a complete) inspection conducted by Jim Burnell of CDMG on the afternoon of <br />Tuesday, October 5, 2004. This site was quiet and deserted. The weather was mild and <br />sunny, with clouds gathering. <br />At the East Mine, in the reclaimed area below the road showed no signs of off-site impact, <br />erosion or instability. Vegetation was mostly brown and dry, with most species gone to seed. <br />Over most of the length of the area between the reclaimed area and the river is a small <br />berm. This berm is intact, except at one low point, and there is no sign of any sediment <br />transport into the river the whole way along the East Mine area. The roughened, uneven <br />surface of the reclaimed area has helped prevent erosion. <br />The ditches had recently been dug out. The road ditch along the area where the slump had <br />encroached from the cut slope above, was open. The material removed from the ditches <br />was piled on the East Mine, near the big boulder and the rip-rapped drainage channel. <br />There was probably ten cubic yards of material in the pile. The road had been repaved by <br />the county to the boundary of the Oxbow property. <br />At the Middle Mine, there were no signs of erosion or instability that haven't been there <br />before. <br />At the West Mine, bladed material was piled there also, along the road across the railroad <br />tracks. <br />There was no erosion associated with the West Mine area. The pond was wet, but <br />contained no water. The embankments were stable. The vegetation was excellent at the <br />West Mine area. <br />
