This was an aerial inspection, flown on May 19, 2004. The digital images were not <br />reviewed until June 1, 2004 due to annual leave. There were no compliance problems <br />observed during the overflight of the reclaimed mine site. <br />The aerial overflight concentrated on the hillslope area of the reclaimed mine site. The <br />slide just to the west of the reclaimed area continues to unravel. However, the backfilled <br />Bear No. 3 Mine portals and reclaimed access roads appear to be unaffected by the <br />slide. <br />There was no evidence of venting of smoke or steam from the underground mine fire <br />that is occurring in the vicinity of the Bear No. 3 Mine. The Division has not determined <br />whether the mine fire is in the Bear No. 3 Mine or in the pre-law Edwards/Clark Mine. <br />The vegetation on the hill side reclaimed portions of the mine site are just beginning to <br />come up. There were no signs of erosional gullies on the reclaimed sections of the <br />hillside. <br />c:lwordJbear3linsp0504 <br />
