Ground conditions on this day were generally dry and the weather was <br />mild <br />Availability of Records <br />The public copy of the mine records is kept at the office of Peak Project Management (PPM). <br />The contact, address, and phone number for PPM is Ron Thompson, Peak Project <br />Management, 34115 County Road 20.8, Trinidad, CO 81082, 719-846-4975. All records <br />were found in compliance as detailed on page 2a of this report. <br />Sions and Markers <br />The mine entry stgn remains at the bottom of the pole north of the railroad right-of-way. <br />Please affix this sign at an appropriate height as soon as possible <br />Reveoetation <br />Vegetation remains dormant as expected for <br />the winter season Last years growth was <br />matted to the ground, apparently due to early <br />February heavy, wet snowfall, Evidence of <br />trespass cattle grazing was obvious. How this <br />grazing may affect the results of planned <br />vegetation sampling is unclear at this time. <br />Offsite Support Facilities <br />All work has been completed at the NW-1 <br />ventilation fan site. Mulch had been applied on <br />the surface of the disturbed area of the pad and <br />on the reclaimed access road down to the <br />windmill. No marker or sign marked the former <br />location of the shaft <br />Both former ventilation sties in Apache Canyon <br />were visited, Coal bed methane activity in the <br />canyon has resulted in an excellent road !o <br />these locations. Due to the location of the <br />road, these sites are prone to use by the gas <br />operator as parking areas and storage areas <br />
