the Permit site is a few hundred feet due west of the historical disturbed area shown in the
lower right comer of the Blackburn Mine 1"=100' map; a portal is labeled "Blackburn
Portal" on this map as a number of sites may have actually been referred to as
"Blackburn". The omission of the correct affected site will be rectified this summer, as
additional surveying work will be conducted; an updated site map will be submitted with
the Annual Report to the Division in November.
All of the noted reclamation and maintenance activities were completed by the Operator
in October 2002. In addition, several Operator Diligence activities were completed to
reduce potential hazards due to open historical portals and unstable highwalls. During
the Operator Diligence work, access into the affected sites was improved to allow
equipment access and to fix drainage and runoff problems. All areas that were entered
and impacted by reclamation equipment were scarified and seed was hand broadcast
following site activities. The following seed mix was used in all affected areas:
Crested Wheatgrass: 5 - 7 lbs/ac.
Western Wheatgrass: 2-3 lbs/ac.
Four Wing Saltbush: 3.3 - 4.4 Ibs/ac.
Indian Rice Grass: 3.3 - 4.4 lbs/ac.
Sand Drop Seed: 0.3 Ibs/ac.
Yellow Sweet Clover: 1 ]b/ac.
Total Seed: I S - 20 Ibs/ac.
This seed mix was obtained from the existing reclamation plan for the Permit and the
Monogram Mines Permit.
During the July 2002 inspection, an inquiry was made by the Division as to the
ownership of the overhead power line into the Blackburn area. The Operator has
contacted the local utility, and the utility has agreed to review the status of power
installations and the related ownership thereof. This update will be performed at several
of the Operator's Permit sites throughout the region. Upon receiving the update from the
utility, this information will be forwarded to the Division.
Anna Mav Mine•
The Anna May Mine consists of an open decline and nearby waste dumps. This mine is
located in the midst of a number of historical mine sites and a mine site which is covered
under the Monogram Mines Permit M-1978-222 UG, see the Anna May & Wilson Mines
M-1977-293 map, 1"=100'.
The Anna May & Wilson Mines map shows four types of sites:
- "Historical Mine Sites." These sites are shown on the map for reference. The
Operator elected to locate and survey historical sites that had been referenced
under original Permit applications, but which were never affected after Permit
issuance. This was done to facilitate future site visits and to establish a
permanent record with the Division.
- "Monogram - Jo Dandy Permit M-1977-293" sites. These sites include the
Anna May and Wilson mines.
