(Page 2) <br /> MINE ID f OR PROSPECTING ID 0 M-88-081 <br /> INSPECTION DATE 5/24/96 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS ACS <br /> OBSERVATIONS <br /> The mining operation was inactive at the time of this inspection. Efforts to contact the <br /> operator by telephone to schedule this inspection had failed. If the operation will be <br /> inactive for more than one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days, the operator must file a <br /> Notice of Temporary Cessation in accordance with Rule 1.13 of the Hard Rock/Metal Mining <br /> Rules and Regulations of the Mined Land Reclamation Board. <br /> The portal area of the Phil Sheridan Tunnel was inspected. There was no visible flow from <br /> the tunnel at the time of this inspection, and no surface discharge to the small draw <br /> adjacent to the portal location (this draw is tributary to Four Mile Canyon Creek) . There <br /> were two small, shallow pools of standing water outby of the portal hatch. The pH of the <br /> inby pool was measured to be 8.12 e.u, at a temperature of 55.80F. No water samples were <br /> submitted for analysis since there is currently no discharge. East-West Mining Corp. will <br /> have to obtain a CDPS Permit from the Water Quality Control Division prior to allowing any <br /> discharge to occur from the Phil Sheridan Tunnel. <br /> The waste rock dump east of the mine yard was inspected. It appears that the operator has <br /> placed additional rock on this dump subsequent to the Division's 1/23/96 inspection of this <br /> site. The operator is reminded that this is not a permitted waste rock disposal location. <br /> Disposal of waste rock in this dump was allowed to complete backfilling of the historic mine <br /> shaft only. Any further disposal of waste rock at this location will be considered a <br /> Possible Violation (PV) against the permit and the Mined Land Reclamation Act. As stated in <br /> the Division's 1/23/96 inspection report, any future waste rock disposal must take place <br /> within the fenced mine yard area in accordance with the approved mine plan. <br /> cc: Carl Mount, DMG <br /> ► Kathleen Sullivan <br /> Colorado Dept. of Public <br /> Health and Environment <br /> WQCD-PE-B2 <br /> 4300 Cherry Creek Dr. S. <br /> Denver, CO 80222-1530 <br /> Gene Branson <br /> 4 Misty Vale Court <br /> Sunshine Canyon <br /> Boulder, CO 80302 <br /> I & E Contact Address <br /> ❑ CE <br /> NAME Rocky Conner ❑ BL <br /> OPERATOR _ East-West Mining Corp. , Inc. ❑ FS <br /> STREET 5119 Williams Fork Trail, ,#209 ❑ HW <br /> CITY/STATE/ZrP Boulder, CO 80301 ❑ HMWMD (CH) <br /> ❑ SE <br /> WQCD (CH) <br /> ❑ OTHER <br />
