iiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiii 999 Annual Report Camp Bird Colorado, Inc. Permit No. M-1982-090 ~ECElVED OCT ~ 2 2000 Division of Minerals and Geology 28 September 2000 The Camp Bird Mine has not been operated since late 1989. Currently, the property is undergoing Reclamation, pursuant to the referenced permit. The Site Reclamation activities scheduled for this Feld season, did not take place do to the inability to access the site via the Ouray County Road 361 bridge. Site conditions at the Camp Bird Mine were substantially stabilized by the Phase I reclamation activity which took place in 1999. During the 1999 season, the two primary tailing impoundments situated north of Canyon Creek were recontoured for surface drainage and covered with a nominal 4-inch colluvium growth medium. In the year since then, natural vegetation has established over most of this surface, and the former wind-blown tailing dispersion problem has been substantially alleviated. It is anticipated that a seeding program over these tailings areas will take place during the week of October 1, 2000, to establish additional vegetation over these tailings areas. During this year, additional routine site maintenance had been carried out with respect to weed control as well as maintenance of stormwater drainage conveyances. When the bridge access problem is taken care ofnext spring (2001), it is anticipated [ha[ the final reclamation phase of the property will be completed. Additional information relating [o the Camp Bird property is contained in the Phase II Si[e Reclamation Plan, for which two technical revisions were filed during this year. Technical Revision No. 2 (filed Apri128, 2000), and Technical Revision No. 3 (filed June 28, 2000), have both received approval from the MLRD. The Technical Revisions contain detailed maps relating to the property.
