III. Comments/Compliance <br />This was a partial inspection conducted by Jim Burnell of CDMG on Thursday, April 24, <br />2003. The site was quiet and deserted. The weather was cold and drizzly with snow <br />showers. <br />Hubbard Creek was running strong and slightly muddy, with muddy water coming down from <br />upstream of the mine site. <br />All the signage was erected and in place. The road and gate to the site was in good repair. <br />The path (road) to the upper bench was stable with no erosion. Both benches appeared <br />stable. <br />None of the underdrains were discharging. The ditch at the base of the slope contained <br />some water from the recent rains. The ditch entering Pond 4 from the south also contained <br />some water although not much and not flowing. <br />The old coal stockpile area showed no signs of erosion or instability. Vegetation was coming <br />back in that area very well. <br />Pond 4 contains willows and other vegetation, and the bottom was wet. The discharge <br />structures were clear and the embankments stable. <br />Pond 3 also contains trees and willows. The discharge structures were clear and there was <br />no sign of instability on the embankments. Contained no standing water although it was wet. <br />Pond 5 contained a small amount of standing water, and the discharge structures were in <br />good repair. <br />The road up Hubbard Canyon was muddy for its entire length. There had been some major <br />rockfall onto the access road that had been repaired. <br />
