<br />this mine. Virtually all of the old workings of this mine are accessible <br />and few collapsed roofs or cave-ins could be seen. However, should sub- <br />sidence occur in the future, there are no structures, houses, roads, major <br />drainages, or other facilities that could be damaged by subsidence. The <br />maximum impact of such subsidence may be diminished range capacity for <br />grazing. <br />DISPOSAL OF "~.;OB" ROCK <br />At the time of this writing, some gob has been placed along the outer <br />• <br />edges of the lower level fill outside the mine. It is recommended that <br />this material be rehandled to the point of creating permanent berms to <br />control erosion on the face of the fill, and that the remainder be scat- <br />tered as base material on the lower level of the affected area. The <br />operators of the mine indicate that all future gob will be stored in <br />abandoned workings and none will be brought to the surface. Our inspec- <br />lion of the mine indicates that this is feasible as many, open, abandoned <br />rooms could tie seen.' This method is preferred, both from a safety and <br />economic position. <br />RECLAMATION <br />The details of the reclamation plan are being prepared by others. <br />Based on our investigation it is our opinion that there is sufficient <br />material available to reconstruct the site to its approximate original <br />i <br />u <br /> <br />
