The operaUOn <br />has not been active since the last inspection on 7i?3104, and there was no operator at the site durng this inspection <br />No new dsturbance was evident at this inspection, No clearing of vegetation, ro road Improvements, no opening of the edit. <br />and no placement of minrng-related features were observed. <br />The information nonce about the operator and the permit. formerly posteC on the portal Coor, has weathered away Since the <br />is a permitted operation, d is required that an adequate permit ID sign be posted at the sde, Ruie 3.1.12 describes the <br />requrements of a permit ID sign and boundary markers. The rule states that the sign must be posted at the entrance' to the <br />Site There are options for the location of the s,gn, rncluding posting on a tree o: on the portal door again Likewse, the perms <br />boundary must be marked adequately to dehreate the perms boundary on the ground. It is understood that some of the <br />corners are npt visible L•om the central area of the perms due to trees, so perhaps "~ntertnediate" markers (between corners) <br />may be installed to help satisfy the requirements of this rule. The tack of an ID sign anC markers suff,cient to delineate the <br />boundary is noted as a problem :n this report The correction ~s to post a swn anC place markers pursue^t to Rule 3 1 12 See <br />the last page for the correct:on sat . <br />The portal ~s securely closed by boards Waded to umbers. The grountl at the portal is sill wet. as observed before, and ;here is <br />still no surface discharge, About ten feet inside the mine, behind the boards, a wall of ice completely blocking the Crift was <br />visible <br />The o~d waste rock dump is Stdl present, with no visible minerat¢eC runoff Onsde debns ~s IimdeC to only a few dems from the <br />pre-law activity here. The onsde roads and the BLM-approved access road show no s,gns of veh~Ge use. They show no <br />deter~orauon from their former cond;tion, though they may regwre some maintenance before they may be useC (at creek <br />crossings and below talus s;opes, for example] <br />The stormwater runoff ponds are present and m good condition. No erosron antl no noxious weeds were observed <br />The bond is still set at the amount estimated at the time of permit issuance m September 2003 (S7,077}. Since there ~s n0 <br />disturbance to•date, and tnerefore no reclamation to perform, the bond amount Is considered adequa:e at this time. The <br />Drv~s~on's ScheduleC recalcula!ion will be postponed unlit the site is activated. (The operator shoultl be aware that the annual <br />increases In fuel. equipment and labor rates will result in a pond increase when the reclamation costs are again recalCUlated ) <br />No Further items were observed during the mspect~on, Responses to this inspection report should be directed to the Division of <br />Minerals and Geology, 701 Camino del Rio.
