ATTACHMENT TO ANNUAL REPORT MONOGRAM-JO DANDY MINES RECEIVED PERMIT NO. M-1977-293 NOVEMBER 27, 2002 OCT Z 9 2002 Division of Minerals and Geology The installation of a Permit identification sign, as stipulated as a Corrective Action item following the June 4, 2001 inspection, has been partially resolved (see discussion below). Another site inspection was conducted by the Division of Minerals & Geology on July 17-18, 2002. The Monogram-Jo Dandy Permit includes a number of small isolated old mines, and considerable effort in the field and detail examination of old records has been conducted to determine which sites are specifically covered under the Monogram-Jo Dandy Permit, and to determine the necessary follow up actions. The following Corrective Actions have been stipulated after the July 17-18 inspections: - A reclamation schedule was required to be submitted by October 11, 2002. This Action was completed. - Although a permit identification sign has been installed, due the scattered nature of the individual mines under this Permit, individual mine identification signs are needed at the Anna May mine and the Great Hesper pit. The installation of the signs is required by October 31, 2002. - A number of the sites have been previously reclaimed or partially reclaimed; the Division has requested that final reclamation be conducted this fall if the partially reclaimed sites are not to be activated in the future. Final reclamation work has been underway since the second week in October, although the unusually wet October weather is hampering completion of site work. The following reclamation work is completed or currently in progress: - Great Hesper pit -minor regrading to control rilling and erosion; re-plugging portals where slumping has occurred; trash removal and general site cleanup; re-seeding previously seeded areas where vegetation is sparse. 1
