III. Comments/Compliance <br />This was a partial inspection conducted by Jim Burnell of CDMG on February 1, 2006. <br />Weather was foggy and cloudy with light snow. The mine site was deserted and quiet. <br />There was 8-10 inches of snow on the main mine site. The road was snow-covered with <br />drifts, but the ground was frozen under the snow and the road was passable to the gate. <br />The portion of Pit 1 area that opens to the county road was stable, with no erosion visible. <br />Vegetation was visible through the snow. <br />The Pond G was drifted over and the pond was obscured by drifted snow. The dam <br />appeared stable. <br />The top of the Pond F dam was visible above the snow. There was no sign of erosion or <br />instability. The pond itself was filled with drifted snow. The baffles were standing at the <br />entrance to the pond. Willows stuck out of the snow around the normal high-water mark. <br />Pond E was filled with drifted snow. The dam was stable. <br />The sign at the entry does not reflect the current location of the records. This needs to be <br />up-dated. The gate was locked and secure. <br />Signs on the topsoil piles for ponds F and G were not found and appear to have been <br />knocked down. Please erect the topsoil signs again on these remaining piles. <br />At the loadout area, the road was drifted with snow The signs at the entrance to the loadout <br />require up-dating. The yard area was filled with blowing and drifting snow. The pond was <br />frozen over and drifted with snow. The dam was stable. The ditch around the loadout area <br />was clear of debris and contained snow. The remaining shop building was open. <br />
