• (Page 21 • <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID # M-1984-039 <br />INSPECTION DATE 8-10-2000 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS SSS <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This was a routine complete inspection conducted as part of the Division's on-going monitoring program for permitted mine <br />sites in Colorado. <br />The site remains stable with very little disturbance. Current disturbance includes an initial cut face with a waste rock pile <br />topsoil stockpile Ivegetatedl, access road and a parking area. Current disturbance is estimated at .25 acres. <br />The mine identification sign and boundary markers are in compliance, but a few markers have been removed and should <br />be replaced. The operator may wish to use a smaller, less conspicuous marker that tourists might be less likely to remove. <br />The operator has rebuilt the Picayune Creek crossing by installing a culvert and armoring the inlet. <br />The 1999 annual report indicated that 50 tons of ore was removed from the initial cut stockpile. <br />The reclamation cost estimate for this site has not been updated since 1995. The estimate will be recalculated by the <br />Division in the next few weeks. If an increase in the financial warranty is required, the operator will be notified and will <br />have sixty days from the date of that notice to submit the additional warranty. <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to Steve Shuey at the Division's Durango Field Office.
