Correction Dates of September 30, 2001, were stipulated in the Inspection Report. At the request of the permittee, the Correction Date was subsequently extended to November 30, 2001. 1. Records and Reporting. ^~ _____ Correspondence between the Division of Minerals and Geology and the permittee were made in attempts to clarify the location of specific disturbance areas that are to be reported under this Permit. In addition, the Permit files at the Division of Minerals and Geology in the headquarters office in Denver were examined in an attempt to locate relevant information on this Permit. The Permit files are extremely limited, and no useful additional information was located. A follow up field examination was conducted by the permittee on November 12. A number of photos were taken of those sites identified on the 1" = 500' scale map submitted herewith. The "Disturbed Areas" shown on the enclosed map are the same as the "affected areas" identified in the November 20, 1995 map submitted by R. A. Van Horn of Energy Fuels Nucleaz, Inc. (the prior permittee). No file information has been located to support revision of the areas shown on the Van Hom map. As noted in Mr. Bob Oswald's July 30, 2001, response to an information request by International Uranium (USA) Corporation ("TUBA"), we assume that the "affected areas" delineated on the Van Horn map comprise the permit area. No reclamation work has been conducted on any of the Disturbed Areas, as designated on the map provided herewith, since the last work was performed by the prior permittee(s). The Monogram Mines Permit M-1998-222 UG includes a number of mine sites and disturbance areas. All of the azeas on the Van Horn map were examined on the recent field trip, except in some cases, the Disturbed Areas could not be specifically identified due to the abundant natural vegetation and the lack of cleazly discernible evidence of past disturbance. A description of each site is provided herein; in addition, copies of photographs are included and have brief descriptions with them. Reference is made to the 1' = 500" scale map for the locations of each Disturbed Area; this map is on a topo base from the USGS Quad
