III. COMMENTS - COMPLIANCE <br /> Below are comments on the inspection. The comments include discussion of observations made <br /> during the inspection. Comments also describe any enforcement actions taken during the inspection <br /> and the facts or evidence supporting the enforcement action. <br /> This was a partial inspection conducted by Kent Gorham of the Colorado Division of <br /> Reclamation, Mining, and Safety (Division). This mine is in permanent cessation and <br /> reclamation of most areas is complete. Ground conditions on this day were damp in places <br /> due to a recent rain. The weather was clear and hot. <br /> Hydrologic Balance <br /> Pond 4 and pond 5 (shown below) both held small amounts of water due to a rain event <br /> within the previous few days. However, it was obvious that dry conditions have prevailed for <br /> most of the spring and summer. The mine site and surrounding area have been abnormally <br /> dry this Spring. Both pond embankments and spillways appeared in good condition with no <br /> problems observed. <br /> 3 <br />
