This was a partial inspection conducted by Kent Gorham of the Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology (CDMG) This former underground mine is reclaimed. Remaining buildings and structures are approved to remain as permanent features. Ground conditions on this day were dry and the weather was hot. During the records inspection of the Southfield Mine, permit # C-81-014, Mr George Patterson gave a copy of the 2004 Annual Reclamation Report for the Raton Creek Mine to be hand carried to the Division office. Revegetation Kent Crofts of IME and his assistant, Aaron, were met on-site late on the morning of June 21, 2005. At the time of DMG observation, production plots were being located and clipped. Grasses and fortis were bagged separately. Three clipping plots were randomly located along each random transect. The three randomly selected numbers correspond to the distance measured along the transect. Whether the value was an odd or even number determined which side of the transect the'/. meter circular clipping frame was located. The production value for each transect is derived by the average production of the three plots after drying. If the transect extends beyond the reclaimed area, the transect tape is pulled back until the transect is located entirely on reclaimed ground. Cattle were not observed on the reclaimed areas at time during visits over three days. ~`}~'r!" i.'tl-t!" ~ ~~ A,. ~ ~ tic ,; k ~. ~ r „~ y P 44f . % 1 ~ ~4..t: '+' rfi r• ~ ~. ~ ~ - ,.. .~~ F ,,, ~ Y, +771. a` y a t~ _.~ i ~ ~L~.-- yr~JP/~I~ ~I.~, + ;~ ~~1L.~4i~.~l ty'.. ~~~b~i-~~.~ ~~b: Y~~a~ '~l `,::~~ri;~L„'~ tiar~plinrl l,_iU;n ~~._;~~~:-~, _.,uc c::0:',
