The mine has gone through a Phase I and Phase II Bond Release on all but <br />approximately nine acres. The mine is currently in its tenth year of liability, with year <br />ten vegetation sampling scheduled for this summer. The weather was cool and clear <br />and the ground was dry. <br />Shrub parcel HG-08 was dry at the time of the inspection (the spoil spring has <br />stopped flowing). There were no erosional problems from the run-off this spring. The <br />parcel was stable and well vegetated. The pond contained water and was <br />discharging at the time of the inspection (although the pond is no longer a part of <br />the HG Mine permit. <br />The road from parcel HG-08 to parcel E and the 1997 slump area has some minor <br />rutting but remains stable. <br />Shrub Parcel E was dry at the time of the inspection. The parcel was well vegetated <br />and stable and no erosional problems were noted. <br />The 1997 slump area was dry at the time of the inspection. The area was well <br />vegetated and stable. All of the steel stakes placed across the slope remained in <br />alignment. No erosional problems were noted as a result of the runoff this spring. <br />Shrub parcel 003 was well vegetated and appeared to be stable at the time of the <br />inspection. There were no erosional problems noted on the parcel due to the runoff <br />this spring.
