MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: +~~-~ 977_~R5 <br />INSPECTION DATE: aug/ns INSPECTOR~SINITIALS: _~_ <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />1. This inspection was performed as part of the four-year monitoring program conducted by the Division of <br />Minerals and Geology. Present at the inspection was Kate Pickford, DMG. Jim Lynn of Park County <br />Road and Bridge was contacted regarding the inspection, but was unable to attend. Weather of the <br />time of the inspection was clear, calm, and approximately 75 degrees. <br />2. An appropriate sign is posted at the mine entrance. The boundaries at the site, however, are not <br />marked, which hindered the inspection of the site due to the inability to isolate the disturbance in the <br />area related to this mining operation (See Problem 1, Page 3 of this report). <br />3. Disturbance at the site, which appears to be a result of ofd activity, consists of an excavated area. <br />There is a mount of material on the north side of the pit, and the north edge of the pit is sloped more <br />steeply than the standards set in the approved reclamation plnn (See Problem 2, Poge 3 of this report). <br />Vegetation in the disturbed area is sparse and not comparable to adjacent, undisturbed areas. <br />4. According To material submitted by Park County relative to this site, the site has been in reclamation <br />since the fall of 1995 (See problem 2, Poge 3J. Inspection reports in 1997 and 2001 identified the same <br />reclamation problems cited in this report, and these problems have not been resolved. The operator <br />should contact Division staff or the local Soil Conservation Service for recommendations on how to <br />establish vegetation at the site. <br />I ~ E Contact Address <br />NAME; Jim Lynn <br />OPERATOR: Pnrk County Rond and B~~ <br />STREET: P_C1 Box 147 <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP: Fri_~rly cn sonan <br />Cc: ^ CE <br />^ BL <br />^ FS <br />^ HW <br />~ EWMD(CH) <br /> S <br />Q WQCD (CH) <br />X Other: Harry Posey, DMG <br />
