III. COMMENTS -COMPLIANCE <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 a partial inspection conducted by Joe Dudash of the Colorado DMG. The Hawk's Nest Mine <br />is a revoked/forfeited mine site that has been reclaimed. As of October 22, 2005, the inspection <br />frequency was formally reduced to one complete inspection and three partial inspections per year. <br />The mine site was completely covered in snow that was about 6 inches deep. The weather was cold <br />and about to get much colder later in the week, with additional snow expected. <br />Roads <br />The county road that cuts through the reclaimed mine site was a little snow packed and icy, but <br />passable. This road is regularly graded during the winter since Oxbow Mining uses the road to access <br />its facilities when the train blocks the main entrance. <br />Hvdroloev <br />There were no obvious signs of erosional problems at the East Mine and at the West Mine. There were <br />no indications of gullying in the backfilled and graded azeas and no excessive sediment on the county <br />road. The riprap at the outlets to the east side and west side road culverts appeared to be functional. <br />The road culverts' inlets and outlets were covered in snow that had been graded off of the road. <br />Slope Stability <br />There were no indications of slope instability with any of the backfilled and graded slopes. <br />c:/word/hawksnesllinsp 1205 <br />
