On May 28, 1992 a complete inspection was conducted at the Canadian Stt•ip Mine. This mine is permanently reclaimed. An exploration bond release inspection was held concut•rently i/it}t this inspection. At the time of the inspection the gt•ottnd was wet from recent rsins but the sky was clest•ing. Present during the inspection was William Hill of Slurco, Jim Perry of BLM Kremmling Office and Erica Crosby of MLRD. The Mine entt•ance was mat•ked with appropriate signs. A tt•averse act•oss the east facing reclaim slope to the north permanent impoundment was made. Settling cracks above the reclaimed highwall wet•e noted. These have been observed dut•ing previous inspections. The vegetation was greening up. A few small (3"-5") Sage plants were noted. A healed gully was noted; the bottom was lined with vegetation and the sides were rounded. No fresh evidence of cattle were noted. Jim Perry said that one of the BLM range scientist had noted several holes in the fence around the disturbed area. During the time of this inspection some ranch hands were mending the fence on the east side of the permit area. About 75% of the bottom of the not•th permanent impoundment was covered ~•ith water. Cat tails or reeds wet•e coming up and frogs wet•e croaking. The pond embankment appeared stable and well vegetated. There were sevet•al inactive rodent burrows in the pond embankment. About 50% of the bottom south impoundment was covered with water. The exploration boreholes were inspected. A exploration inspection t•epot•t will be written by Erica Crosby. Some of the holes will need additional work before lability can be t•eleased. The records wet•e checked at the county court house and were found to be in order. But they should be better organized.
