r <br />Project Narrative <br />Durango Field Project <br />La Plata County <br />Mine Feature Identification-Burnwell <br />The project area includes an open adit. The proposed work includes installing <br />a bulkhead seal over the opening that will allow authorized access. <br />Native rock will be cemented with mortar to form a wall thirty inches thick. <br />The wall is placed inside an adit where the roof rock is stable. <br />In regard to the conduct of the actual work, each project will be monitored by <br />a staff field engineer who will be on site to ensure that project work is <br />completed as specified. Projects will be inspected prior to payment and no <br />project will be considered complete until all extraneous disturbances created <br />by the contractor have been corrected. All contractors are required to have <br />both public liability and workman's compensation insurance during the term of <br />the project. We have had several instances of vandalism to mine closures. <br />The closures are designed to be vandal resistant and the program will monitor <br />the closure periodically. However, the landowner should also inspect the <br />closure to insure that it remains safeguarded. <br />Areas adjacent to the mine sites often contain mine related structures <br />(huildings, tipples, foundations) that may be historically significant. The <br />project work will avoid any disturbances to these structures in order to <br />preserve their integrity. <br />jhl <br />3295E <br />
