MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID#: M-1977-493 PAGE: 4 INSPECTION DATE: 9-8-03 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: ACS through the base of the dam to the old Robinson Pump Station. Climax is concerned that when the lake is full, the entire head of the reservoir la being applied to a single valve in the old pump house. ey exposing and inspecting the head gate of the pipeline Climax can determine how to beat assure containment of Robinson Lake water at the pipeline. As Robinson Lake is an EPF, DMG requests that Climax report their findings and describe the nature of any mitigation that may be required. The Robinson ground Mater cutoff was i prevent contaminated seepage from Robi water paticways and possibly entering E cutoff by a concrete wall that is keys ground water is pumped back to Warcen' concept but has proven complicated in wall itself has proven highly effectiv Climax has encountered diEficultieo in pumping cizcuit. At the time of this collection, and water storage systems Chc system is efficient and virtually Chat require periodic inapcction, Clim and bar codes. Climax personnel scan t streamline tracking and to assure that conducted. This 6PF was installed to from flowing along ground Park Reservoir. The flow is o bedrock and the collected ip station. This is simple in ~tion. The ground water cutoff. ice its installation. However, operation and maintenance of the ction, the pumping, water been re-designed and rebuilt and ale free. At certain key F.PFa s placed inspection checklists des at the time of inspection to neceosary inspections are Eagte Park Reservoir (corrected by ACS 1-21-2004) The aroa above the upstream and of ~I~ waa inspected. Infestations of yellow toadflax Ilinaria vulgarisl and oxeye daisy (chrysanthemum leucanthemum) in this location were described in the report of the DMG's 9-17-98 inapcction. In the mill office prior to this Inspection, the Climax weed control program was discussed and documents related to the control program were reviewed. Contractors retained by Climax havo identified and mapped the location of all weed species on Climax property, and the weeds are sprayed with Herbicide annually. Yello toadflax and oxeye daisy continue to be present in the area above F,agle Park Reservoir despite the herbicide applications; [his is largely due to the continued presence of weed vectors into Climax property from outside areas. For example, grazing sheep are transported through Climax property from the lower Eagle River Valley. There is also a public road that Follows the Eagle River onto Climax Property. These vectors bring seed from inf.eatationa at Camp Hale and elsewhere downstream onto the Climax property. It was determined through this inspection that Climax is adequately managing the weeds in Sagle Park; certainly the problem has not increased since the 9-17-98 inspection, and for Chat reason [he DMG has no cause to assert regulatory authority over weed management at this time.
