Scott Smith <br />indicated that the hydroseeding company was due to return to the site in the next couple of weeks. The Division suggested <br />that the upper portion of the outslope, just below the pit area, be hydroseeded as well, in an effort to stabilize this slope <br />with vegetation and minimize erosion and sedimentation. This task is not required because this was apre-existing condition <br />and adjacent non-mined slopes are just as bare and steep. <br />The drum and buckets of petroleum products, that was on site during the last inspection, has been removed from site <br />Slopes on site, that are required to be maintained at a grade of 2.5:1 or less, have been reduced to that grade, except for <br />a small face on the north side of the wetland, east of the access road, near the penstock repair location. Mr. Smith was <br />instructed to reduce the slope of that face to 2.5:1 or less. <br />An excavator was on site during the inspection, picking large rocks out of the mine slope, for use as riprap. The excavator <br />was then going to be used to clean up the sedimentation deposit noted in the Division's 11)23/1999 inspection report. This <br />area should be seeded after clean-up is complete. <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to: <br />Division of Minerals and Geology, 701 Camino Del Rio, Room 125, Durango, Colorado 81301, Attn: Steve Shuey, phone <br />no. 970-247-5062. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME Scott Smith <br />OPERATOR Pathfinder Development.
