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. This former underground site is entirely reclaimed. Ground <br />conditions were dry but soft and the weather was warm. <br />Hydrologic Balance <br />The sediment pond held water up to the invert of the primary riser tube and was <br />discharging slightly. The discharge was clear. The trash rack was intact and <br />clear of debris. Cattails now cover almost 100% of the pond area. <br />Processing Waste <br />The slope of the refuse highwall was traversed on foot. No sign of slumps, slides, <br />or damage was noted. Contour furrows appeared generally in good condition. <br />Revegetation <br />Annual weeds dominate the interseeded portion of the refuse highwall slope. The <br />annual weeds do provide some hydrologic cover. Warm season grasses have not yet <br />begun to set seed. Noxious weeds were not apparent. Soil moisture conditions are <br />good due to recent storm events. Dry conditions prior to recent rains limited <br />growth on the reclaimed area. <br />Overall, the site appeared in average condition for the summer season. <br />3 <br />
