Savage and Savage <br />Memorandum <br />To: Donald W. MacDonald, Coors Energy Company <br />From: Michael Savage, Savage and Savage, Inc. <br />Date: August 20, 2005 <br />Subject: Third Quarter 2005 Pest and Disease Inspection; Keenesburg Mine <br />File #: C-81-028 <br />During the annual vegetation monitoring August 8-10 and 15-16, 2005, Edith and I <br />conducted an inspection of the reclaimed and revegetated azeas at the Keenesburg Mine <br />for evidence of plant pests or diseases that could affect the re-established vegetation at the <br />Keenesburg Mine. The weather was warm, partially overcast to sunny, with light winds. <br />No significant precipitation occurred during our investigations. <br />Reclaimed and revegetated areas of the mine, including the 1985, 1986, 1987, 1995, <br />1998, 1999, 2000, 2002, and 2003 seedings were inspected by pedestrian and vehicle <br />means. The dugout azea, the small cottonwood grove, and the B Pit azeas were also <br />• inspected. <br />We did not identify any disease conditions at any of the reclaimed and revegetated areas <br />or within the mine site. Nor did we identify any plant pests which had affected the <br />growth of the vegetation during the past growing season. No azeas which experienced <br />any infestation or blight were found during the inspection. <br />a Keenesburg Pest and Disease Inspection File <br />Danny Kipp, Keenesburg Mine <br /> <br />Page 51 <br />
