III. COMMENTS - COMPLIANCE <br />Below are comments on the inspection. The comments include discussion of observations <br />made during the inspection. Comments also describe any enforcement actions taken during <br />the inspection and the facts or evidence supporting the enforcement action. <br />This was a partial inspection conducted by Kent Gorham of the Colorado Division of <br />Minerals and Geology. Ground conditions were dry and the weather was warm and <br />mild. Ron Thompson represented Basin Resources during the inspection. Bruce and <br />Eric Addington were also present. This former underground mine site is reclaimed. <br />Signs and Markers <br />The underground mining warning signs have been removed in Wet Canyon. <br />Revegetation <br />Warm season grasses, blue grama and side oats grama. were beginning to set seed <br />heads. Annual weeds are abundant on the area immediately over the backfilled mine <br />portal. This seems to indicate methane is not present in the soil -~n this area. <br />A few large Scotch thistle plants were noted along the main road anti were <br />mechanically removed as encountered. Mr. Thompson indicated Canada 1:histle will be <br />sprayed with herbicide in the early fall. Overall, vegetation on tFre site seems <br />diverse and the lack of erosion features would indicate satisfactory establishment <br />for this stage of the bond liability period. <br />Slides and Damage <br />The small collapse area/hole on the reclaim should be filled with soil material <br />prior to the onset of winter. <br />The site appeared in good condition for mid-summer. No problems were noted. <br />3 <br />
