(Page 2) <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID # M-1978-168 <br />INSPECTION DATE 1-28-2004 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS SSS <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This was a routine monitoring inspection conducted as part of DMG's ongoing monitoring program for permitted mines in <br />Colorado. <br />The mine identification sign and affected area boundary markers are in place and in compliance with Rule 3.1.12. <br />This was a poor time of year to follow up on the knapweed problem noted in the previous inspection report. The thick <br />infestations of knapweed were not noted, but that does not mean they are nopt still a problem. DMG records do not include any <br />records indicating that Delta County has taken any measures to control these weed patches, though they do indicate that the <br />county-wide weed program would spray them. To correct the weed infestation problem noted in the previous report, Delta <br />County should submit any documentation indicating that the weed problem at this site has been routinely treated since this <br />problem was noted by DMG. <br />A small area on the south end of the site was noted where site runoff reports to the irrigation ditch that is adjacent to the pit <br />boundary in that location. This runoff does not pass through a sedimentation or settling pond prior to this off-site discharge. No <br />water was flowing at this time, and it is not known if this discharge could carry heavy sediment to the ditch. Delta County will <br />need to monitor this location to ensure discharge from the site is clean, or install a sediment control feature to ensure all <br />discharge from the site is in compliance with requirements of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment - <br />Water Quality Control Division. <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to Steve Shuey at the Division of Minerals and Geology, Grand Junction <br />Field Office, 101 South 3`" Street, Room 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, phone number 970-243-6368. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME <br />OPERATOR <br />STREET <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP <br />Larrv Record <br />Delta County <br />501 Palmer Street.
