III. COMMENTS - COMPLL4NCE <br />Below are comments on the inspection. The comments include discussion of observations made during the <br />inspection. Comments also describe any enforcement actions taken during the inspection and the facts or <br />evidence supporting the enforcement action. <br />This was an aerial inspection that was flown on January 16, 2007. No compliance problems were noted <br />during the overflight. The digital images were reviewed on January 18, 2007 by the Colorado Division <br />of Reclamation, Mining and Safety. <br />The entire mine site was covered in snow. The entrance road and bridge were covered in snow but it <br />did not appear that they were impassable. No changes were evident with the mine office building. <br />The sediment pond was covered in snow but the pond embankment appeared to be stable. The <br />collection ditch leading into the sediment pond appeared to have enough capacity. The ice and snow <br />were beginning to melt on the spring water treatment pond. The east side spring was evident and was <br />in its proper channel that leads to the spring water treatment pond. <br />The hillside was also covered in snow. There were no signs of slope instability with the reclaimed <br />portal access road. There were no indications of melting snow or steam vapor on the hillside that might <br />be associated with an underground thermal event. <br />c:/word/bear3/insp0107 <br />
