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