SHELTO N, Director <br />May 21, 1985 <br />T0: Roadside/Cameo <br />FROM: Jim Pendleton <br />RE: Field Vis <br />)F <br />horn Coal on May 14, 1985 <br />iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii <br />999 <br />I visited the mine site of the Roadside and Cameo mines, in the presence of <br />Fred Banta, Tom Gillis, and Steve Renner. We toured the subsidence monitoring <br />networks above second and third east panels with Henry Barbe. Significant <br />extentional cracking has occurred above the panels. The majority of the <br />cracking appears to align with the long axis of those panels. The operator <br />suggested that healing of the cracks was occurring. I photographed fresh <br />cracks in the subsidence monument networks for later comparison. A recent Ute <br />water utility pipeline break had occurred above the second east panel. <br />We also toured the old Roadside waste pile, which has been topsoiled and <br />seeded. The operator has topsoiled various portions to different depths, such <br />as six inches, twelve inches, and twenty-four inches of topsoil for <br />comparative purposes. Vegetation has taken hold nicely and the pile has <br />greatly improved in appearance since I had visited the site twelve months <br />ago. We also inspected the No. 1 waste pile at the Cameo mine site, which <br />appeared to remain in compliance. I photographed the site of the proposed <br />No. 2 waste rock pile at the Cameo site, having photographed the site of the <br />No. 3 waste pile on my visit last year. <br />JAP/ddt <br />cc: Tom Gillis <br />0551E <br />423 Centennial Building, 1313 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado 80203 Tel.
