III. Comments/Compliance <br />This was a partial inspection conducted by Jim Burnell of CDMG on the morning of Friday, <br />May 25, 2005. This site was quiet and deserted. The weather was warm and sunny. <br />At the East Mine, in the reclaimed area below the road showed no signs of off-site impact, <br />erosion or instability. Vegetation was doing well. Patches of whitetop had been sprayed <br />earlier in the week by OMLLC. There was a great deal of cheatgrass, especially near the <br />road. <br />Over most of the length of the area between the reclaimed area and the river is a small <br />berm. This berm is intact, except at one low point, and there is no sign of any sediment <br />transport into the river the whole way along the East Mine area. The roughened, uneven <br />surface of the reclaimed area has helped prevent erosion. <br />The road ditches were contained some water. There had been some slumping of material <br />from above the road onto the new road surface. <br />At the Middle Mine, there were no signs of erosion or instability that haven't been there <br />before. Most of the snow was gone from this steeper, south-facing slope, although there <br />were patches of snow cover. <br />There was no erosion in the former silo area. The pond was wet. The embankments were <br />stable. The vegetation was excellent. <br />
