• (Page 31 <br />MINE ID rY OR PROSPECTING ID # M-1977-215 <br />INSPECTION DATE 10-19-2001 <br />fall to take advantage of winter and spring moisture. <br /> <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS SSS, RCO. ALA <br />The access road to the lower tailings pond is becoming excessively eroded. Though this road was accepted by the USFS <br />as a permanent feature, it is still part of Permit M-1977-215 and must be maintained according to the requirements of the <br />Mined Land Reclamation Act and the Hard Rock Rules and Regulations. Sedimentation from this erosion does not appear <br />to travel off the affected area or the permit area. However, the erosion and sedimentation has concentrated flows which <br />could result in future problems in this area. The erosion and sedimentation features do provide disturbed areas for weed <br />establishment and may have contributed to the significant thistle infestation along the length of this road. Regrading of <br />this road is required with proper drainage controls to be installed to minimize the possibility of recurrence of the erosion. <br />Weed control along this road will need to be addressed in any weed control plan to be implemented. <br />Please note the problem descriptions and associated corrective action dates on the last page of this report. All corrective <br />actions must be completed by the dates shown. This is to include the written follow-up or photos, describing activities <br />performed at the site, and/or submittal of required revision materials. <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to Bob Oswald at the Division of Minerals and Geology, Durango <br />Field Office, 701 Camino del Rio, Room 125, Durango, Colorado 81301, phone number 970-247-5193. <br />18 E Contact Address cc: <br /> ^ CE <br />NAME Rov Cellan ^ BL <br />OPERATOR Homestake Mining company ^ FS <br />STREET P.
