This was a complete coal inspection conducted by Jason Musick of the Colorado Division of
Reclamation, Mining, and Safety(Division)on 24 March 2009. The weather was cloudy and snowing
during the on-the-ground inspection of the site. Forrest Luke of TMI accompanied the inspection. The
ground was wet and snow covered at the time of the inspection.
Trapper continues to progress with mining in the F-Pit and Z-Pit.
During the inspection, additional maps previously submitted with the PR-06 application were
requested. Maps M4, M6, M10A, M10B, and M12 were provided.
Availability of Records
See attached DRMS Availability of Records. All records were inspected at the Trapper Mine site.
Signs and Markers
Mine ID and Blasting signs were displayed in the locations required. All required information was
properly displayed at the time of the inspection. Topsoil markers and Permit Boundary markers
inspected are delineated with a piece of PVC pipe attached to a T-post with either a P for permit
boundary or T for topsoil. The topsoil markers and permit boundary markers observed were in good
condition and displayed in the appropriate locations. All signs and markers were in compliance with
Rules 4.02.2, 4.02.6(3) and 4.02.7 at the time of the inspection.
Roads
All haul roads were wet and/or snow covered at the time of the inspection. All haul road side ditches
were functioning as permitted at the time of the inspection. Adequate runoff was noted with no signs
of damage or erosion. Access roads were snow covered and wet with limited access. Side ditches
were snow covered. All access roads appeared to be stable with no damage noted with the exception
of the following:
• The west side of the middle flume pond access road and the junction where the three access
roads converge was extremely rutted at the time of the inspection. When weather permits,
these access roads will require grading in order to provide adequate runoff from the road.

discharging during the inspection.
• No Name appeared stable with no problems noted. No Name contained water and had a
discharge rate of .18.
• Middle Flume contained water and was discharging through the 1" Baski flume at .30 and pH
at 8.6.
• Johnson contained water with discharge at .10 and pH at 8.4 and 3410 conductivity.
• East Pyeatt was discharging at the combined monitoring point at 0.58 with a pH of 7.8. The
spring at East Pyeatt had a discharge of 0.3 through the 1" Baski flume.
