<br />~~~ ~~~II~~I~I~~~ ~I~ <br />999 <br />ENERGY FUELS MINING CO. <br />RATON CREEK MINES <br />QUARTERLY INSPECTION REPORT <br />EXTENDED COAL PROCESSING WASTE <br />DATE OF INSPECTION: Dec. 26, 1994 <br />IDENTIFICATION: Extended Waste Disposal Area <br />LOCATION: Sec. 36, R64W, 6th P.M. <br />Las Animas County, Colo. <br />COMMENTS: Much of the conditions remain as reported previously. <br />The rills have not changed noticeably. The berm at the top of <br />the Waste Area has been completed and a "U" Type Diversion Ditch <br />(Intercepting Ditch) has been reconstructed thru-out the entire <br />disturbed area. This Diversion Ditch has approximately 1200 ft. <br />of a "U" Type Gabion Wire Rock Basket. Each basket is 3 ft. X 6 <br />ft. placed side by side to a total width of 9 ft.. Screened <br />rock sized from 2 in. to 10 in, has been placed to the approximate <br />thickness of one (1) foot. The baskets are tied together along <br />with the Gabion Lid. The Gabion baskets are placed only in the <br />steeper grades of the Diversion ditch, The construction procedure <br />is good and as completed should eliminate any erosion to the <br />ditch ans stop the erosion of the slopes. Also on the western <br />portion of the Diversion ditch, bales of straw have been placed <br />outside of the ditch to eliminate any sediment to the ditch Prom <br />loose back slope. The bales are pinned in place by steel pins. <br />There are no visible signs of water ponding within the entire area. <br />Drainage ditches are completed and functioning as designed. The <br />previous recommendation to seed and mulch the area has not been <br />done, perhaps due to work scheduling. This recommendation will be <br />put off until the Spring Quarter, when conditions are right for <br />this work. <br />RECOMMENDATION; Complete the Diversion Ditch Gabion and wait out <br />the Winter Quarter and resume Reclamation in the Spring. <br />PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS STATEMENT: I, John H.
