Carter from the Division of minerals and Geology Performed a <br />complete inspection of the Ohio Creek number two mine In Gunnison County. The weather during <br />the inspection was dowdy and cool. <br />Availability of Records: <br />• The old records are available at the Gumrison County Courthouse in the office of the Clerk end <br />Recorder. <br />• Included in a folder, of documents that had been posted in the peat, is a note stating that the <br />complete and up-to-date records for revoked mines are available at the DMG ot&ce in Denver. <br />Slrms sect Markers• <br />The e~dsting signs are out of date. New mgrs }fisting the DMG are in the process of being made, and will <br />be installed as soon ae they are available. <br />j3ydrologic Balance: <br />• The collection ditches and the sedimentation pond were dry during the inspection. <br />• The diversion ditch above the mine site appears to have a low section that could be causing a <br />concentration of water into the reclaimed area. This will be checked in the Spring when snow <br />melting fie active. <br />Slides and Dama¢e: <br />No settling or clumping of the portal area was observed at the time of the inspection. <br />Subsideuce• <br />It appears that there is eigrificant subsidence above the mine site. This subsidence does not appear to be <br />recent but rather from the past. Subsidence could be part of the reason for the apparent settling of the <br />diversion ditch above the disturbed area. <br />
