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 processing and loadout site has been <br /> inactive since June 2001 after the closure of the Lorencito Mine (#C-96-084). Ground <br /> conditions were generally dry. The area received 6-8 inches of snow since the last <br /> inspection but most had melted off with the exception of the shaded areas. <br /> Hydrologic Balance <br /> No pumping of mine water to Pond 001 was observed during the inspection. The operator <br /> has completed the new borehole and is awaiting installation of a pump prior to beginning <br /> dewatering from this location. <br /> I�I <br /> New dewatering borehole, New Elk, March 2009 <br /> Support Facilities <br /> The operator is putting the final touches on the East Portal fan building. This ventilation <br /> shaft was the original mine dewatering location. Due to the fact that a fan will be operating at <br /> this location, all dewatering from this point forward will be from the new dewatering borehole. <br /> 3 <br />
