`_ <br />Ronald G. Thompson <br />Peak Project Management, LLC <br />34115 County Road 20.8 <br />Trinidad, Colorado 81082 <br />April 11, 2002 <br />Golden Eagle Mine <br />Rill & Gully Inspection <br />Reclamation areas of the Golden Eagle Mine were visually inspected for the presence of erosional features <br />requiring maintenance. Limit precipitation has been noted since previous inspections conducted in 2001. <br />As a result, erosion has had little impact on the reclamation areas at the Golden Eagle. The following <br />conditions were observed: <br />Rack check dams installed across erosion channels on the north-facing slope where the coal loadout was <br />located continue to control erosion. Several new areas (of differential settling?) were noted and need to be <br />filled in with soil material and reseeded. <br />Minor erosion was noted on the Northwest Bleeder fan site. This area was seeded in May of 2000. <br />Establishment of vegetative cover is limited. Seeding has been scheduled for this spring. At the surface <br />owners recommendation, seeding has been delayed pending precipitation to increase soil moisture. <br />No problems from erosion were noted elsewhere within the reclamation areas. <br />~~~ <br />
