111. COMMENTS -COMPLIANCE <br />Below are comments on the inspection. The comments include discussion of observations made <br />during the inspection. Comments also describe any enforcement actions taken during the inspection <br />and the facts or evidence supporting the enforcement action. <br />On June l7, 1997, William J. Carter from the Division of Minerals and Geology, performed a partial <br />inspection at the Blue Ribbon Mine along Hubbard Creek. The weather was cleaz and warm. Cattle <br />were grazing throughout the site at the time of the inspection. <br />Hydrologic Balance: <br />• Pond 3 and 4 were dry at the time. <br />• Pond 5 contained some water, but was not discharging. <br />• One piezometer was broken off along with its supporting fence post. This appears to be <br />correctable and needs to be repaired in the near future. <br />Revegetation: <br />The general revegetation appeared to be good at this time. The cattle were grazing the grasses down, <br />but did not appear to be overgrazing. Some compaction of wet soil, by cattle, was observed. <br />Slides and Daroaee: <br />There appears to be some soil movement below one of the drains on the lower bench. This will be <br />continuously checked during future inspections, and should be monitored by the operator. <br />Others: <br />Weed control of the scattered thistle needs to be performed. <br />
