III. Comments/Compliance <br />This was a complete inspection of the North Thompson Creek Mine conducted by Jim <br />Burnell, accompanied by Jim Stark, both of CDMG, on Tuesday, August 23, 2005. The <br />site was deserted. The weather was warm and sunny. <br />The road was in good condition. <br />The portal area was stable with no sign of erosion. Vegetation was good. <br />Both portals were discharging water which was mixing above the "long pond." <br />The vegetation was good, dominated by crested wheatgrass. There was a good bit of <br />Canada thistle along the road and at the Long Pond and at the inlet to pond Pg. <br />The long pond itself contained cattails. The ditch had been stabilized with a 20-inch high <br />berm on the downhill side as abatement for the recent violation. Pond T1 embankments <br />were stable with no sign of erosion. The embankments were well vegetated. Pond T2 was <br />stable. Pond P9 contained some water. The emergency spillway was stable. <br />
