MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: Nn-1981-15 <br />INSPECTION DATE: 05.4141108 INSPECTOR' S INITIALS: I(AP <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This inspection was performed as part of the Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety's four-year <br />monitoring program. Present at the inspection were Kate Pickford, DRMS, and Bill Wilson, San Miguel <br />County. Weather at the time of the inspection was clear, calm, and approximately 60 degrees. <br />A sign is posted at the entrance to the site and the boundaries are easily identifiable in the field. The <br />disturbance at this site consists of a pit covering much of the permitted site. Large stockpiles of material <br />are contained on the pit floor. Topsoil has been stockpiled and well preserved with vegetation. Mr. <br />Wilson stated that the west highwall will continue to be mined until the ridge that it is mined into is <br />completely removed. <br />In a previous inspection it was noted that the southeast slope was oriented too close to the pit <br />boundary. Much of this highwall has been backfilled and graded to a 3:1 slope. The activities at the <br />site are located well away from the remaining boundaries. The ridge that existed between this site and <br />an adjacent site operated by a different permittee has been removed, resulting in a continuous pit <br />across both sites. <br />4. The operation is being conducted within the parameters of the approved permit. <br />I & E Contact Address Cc: ? CE <br />? BL <br />NAME: Mike Horner ? FS <br />?
