Stormwater drainage and sediment traps have been <br />maintained. Uphill water diversions have been maintained above the active areas in <br />accordance with NPDES. General site cleanup has continued, with additional scrap steel <br />recycling and some wildfire/ pine beetle mitigation. MRV has begun work within the St. <br />Joe area of the permit boundary, eliminating the open hole hazard of the St. Joe shaft and <br />preparing it for access with a DRMS compliant closure. <br />MRV is proud to be able to include that we are the recipient of the 2007 Colorado <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety & the Colorado Mining Association - <br />Colorado Mine Health & Safety Small Underground Metal Mine Award for 2.6 years of <br />no lost-time injuries. <br />Active mining of gold-silver ore is ongoing under this permit. No changes to the <br />permitted limits of production have been made. MRV celebrated one year of mine and <br />mill production in 2008 with the continued shipment of gold & silver concentrate. MRV <br />plans on continuing mining operations as permitted by the Division.
