III. COMMENTS -COMPLIANCE <br />t3elow are comments on the inspection. The comments include discussion of observations made <br />during the inspection Comments also describe any enforcement actions taken during the inspection <br />and the facts or evidence supporting the enforcement action. <br />This was a complete inspection conducted by Kent Gorham of the Colorado Division of <br />Minerals and Geology (Division). Ron Thompson accompanied me on this inspection. <br />Ground conditions on this day were dry and the weather was cold and windy. <br />Availability of Records <br />The public copy of the mine records was checked on November 30 at the office of Peak <br />Project Management (PPM). The contact, address. and phone number for PPM is Ron <br />Thompson, Peak Project Management. 34115 County Road 20.8. Trinidad. CO 81082, 719- <br />846-4975. The records should be updated with a current copy of the liability insurance <br />certificate as soon as possible. All other records were found in compliance as detailed on <br />page 2a of this report. <br />Revegetation <br />The main reclaimed area <br />at the former facility area <br />is well vegetated with a <br />diverse mix of grasses and <br />forbs. This coming <br />growing season (2006) will <br />be the tenth year of the <br />revegetation liability <br />period. The applicant will <br />again sample the <br />vegetation at the site in <br />preparation to submit a <br />future Phase Ifl bond <br />release application. <br />Offsite Support Facilities <br />The NW-1 ventilation site appeared normal following one growing season. Grasses and <br />forbs are dormant for the season. Adequate moisture is important for success at this site <br />due to the southern exposure and marginal soil conditions. <br />Soil Methane Area <br />No changes were noted at the areas affected by methane in the soil profile. Mr. Thompson <br />indicated that a consultant completed additional testing at the soil methane monitors within <br />the last 60 days. <br />The site appeared in good condition for the winter season <br />~. <br />~ , 'Rti' <br />' A <br />.. h , ' <br />•.. <br />,.y _ k- <br />•{{ ~7 <br />
