The primary reason for the inspection was a fact finding tour by <br />Division Geo-Chemist David Bird. Mr. Bird is now involved in the review of uranium mines and the Designated <br />Mining Operation appeals on these sites. Also, it provided staff an opportunity to verify the location and installation <br />of pizometers at the 4 current sites under DMO review. Glen Williams, representative for Cotter accompanied the <br />Division on site. <br />The mine identification sign and affected area boundary markers are in place and in compliance with Rule 3.1.12. <br />The pizometer is located just north of the waste piles against the permit boundary. One ofthe accompanying pictures <br />notes the black and blue cap typical of the installation of al] four wells. Cotter will be submitting data from this well <br />with the other 3 sites prior to the Board Hearing on the DMO issues. <br />At this time there is no activity on the site. No debris, ore stockpiles or fuel storage is noted. Some clean up of <br />erosional fans below the load out have been cleaned up. The inspector notes that the retention pond is the focus of all <br />erosion control measures and at this time appears to be working as designed. <br />Mr. Bird discussed and observed the general geology and hydrology of the mine area with Mr. Williams. <br />No issues are noted at this time. <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to Russ Means at the Division of Reclamation, Mining and <br />Safety, Grand Junction Field Office, l Ol South 3rd Street, Room 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, phone no. <br />970-241-1117. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: Glen Williams <br />OPERATOR: Cotter Corooration <br />STREET: P.O.
