We looked over the pit working area including the upper bench and the <br />adjacent drainages. Bob Wolford, Ouray County Road Foreman, is considering some <br />proposed changes to the reclamation plan of the pit and wanted BLM's input before any <br />changes were submitted. Bob wants to adjust the pit boundaries on the southern side of <br />the pit to allow equipment in the drainage to better mine the pit and allow for a different <br />reclamation profile. <br />The following was concluded: <br />• The consensus was that BLM does not want any equipment in the drainages. The <br />integrity of the drainage could be destroyed. Equipment can be allowed closerthan the <br />present 50 feet, but in no case closer than 5 feet above the drainage. <br />• The stockpile that is stuffing into the drainage must be moved back so it does not erode <br />into the drainage. <br />At final pit reclamation, the slopes must be contoured so that thet drain into the pre- <br />mining drainages as shown on the Dallas 7'/z topographic map (1968). We anticipate <br />that the plan to drain the total pit area into the drainage on the north side of the pit will <br />cause future problems in that drainage. Essentially, flow into the northern drainage will <br />be doubled and during high water flows will not be able to sustain the flow, possibly <br />causing problems down stream. <br />Signature of Inspector.
