<br />III. COMMENTS -COMPLIANCE <br />Below are comments on the inspection. The comments include discussion of observations <br />made during the inspection. Comments also describe any enforcement actions taken <br />during the inspection and the facts or evidence supporting the enforcement action. <br />This was a complete inspection of the East Side Mine conducted by <br />Tim Burnell of CoMG, on Tuesday, October 4, 2005. The weather was <br />cool and rainy; a major thunderstorm was passing through. This <br />mine site was deserted. <br />The permit sign was present at the entrance road and the information <br />was correct. <br />The site is well vegetated with western wheatgrass, sagebrush, <br />rabbitbrush, some milkvetch and some Indian rice grass and lactuca <br />along with lesser proportions of other fortis. <br />The former pond site has been reclaimed. That, too, was well <br />vegetated, although there were some patches of cheatgrass. The <br />outslope of the site below the pond was stable with no signs of <br />erosion. <br />There was a black plastic pipe attached to the pipe from the <br />reclaimed portal. There was no water discharging and no sign that <br />any water had, but this should be removed. <br />There was no sign of erosion or instability on the site. <br />Records were checked at the Garfield County Courthouse. See the <br />attached sheet for details. <br />
