COMMENTS -COMPLIANCE Ll ~ M~~ ~~~~ ~v~ Below are comments on the inspection. The comments include discussion of observations made during the inspection. Comments also describe any enforcement actions taken during the inspection and the facts or evidence supporting the enforcement action. This was a partial inspection of the Hayden Gulch Mine conducted by Jim Stark of CDMG. This was also a bond compliance inspection. The bond compliance inspection was performed to verify that the acreages listed in the permit for the shrub parcels and the 1997 slump area are, in fact, accurate. This will become important as the HG Mine reaches final bond release (possibly as early as fall 2004). The mine has gone through a Phase I and Phase II Bond Release on all but approximately nine acres. The weather was warm and overcast and the ground was dry. Shrub parcel HG-08 was well vegetated and the grasses and shrubs were all green. The area appeared to be stable and no rills/gullies were seen at the time of the inspection. The pond contained water and was discharging at the time of the inspection (although the pond is no longer a part of the HG Mine permit). Shrub Parcel E was also well vegetated and the grasses and shrubs were all green. The area appeared to be stable and no erosional problems were noted. Shrub parcel 003 was well vegetated and the grasses and shrubs were all green. The area was stable and there were no erosional problems noted at the time of the inspection. The 1997 slump area was well vegetated and the grasses were all green. The slump area appeared to remain stable and there did not appear to be any erosional problems on the slope. The alignments stakes area still lined up, indicating that the area remains stable. There was no water coming out of any of the French drain pipes below the slump area. The two remaining ponds (HG-08 and 003) are no longer a part of the HG permit. They are, however, well vegetated and stable and catch all of the runoff from shrub parcels HG-08, 003 and E and the 1997 slump area. Several antelope were grazing on parts of the reclamation that have undergone a full Phase III Release. See the attached sheet for information regarding the bond compliance portion of the inspection. All of the points, lengths and areas were measured using a Trimble GeoExplorer CE GPS unit with real-time (WAAS) corrections. The data was then downloaded to a PC and compared with that in the permit and reclamation cost estimate.
