(Page 2) <br />MINE ID A OR PROSPECTING ID #: M-1977-446 <br />INSPECTION DATE: n3/1949 INSPECTOR S INITIALS: KAP <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />1. This inspection was conducted as a monitoring inspection for the site. Present at the inspection were <br />Kate Pickford, DRMS, and Rocky Hocker, Hocker Construction. Weather at the time of the inspection <br />was clear, calm, and approximately 60 degrees. <br />2. The site is located south of Hwy 151 approximately 2 miles east of Ignacio. There does not appear to <br />have been any recent activity at the site, and future activity at the site needs to be addressed with the <br />Division (see problem 1). All activities at the site appear to be contained within the boundaries. <br />Disturbance consists of a near vertical highwall at the south end of the site, various roads, a processing <br />area where stockpiles are located, and scales and a scale house. Ponds, apparently a result of mining, <br />are located on site. Much of the site has been mined out. <br />3. The west area of the permit, which according to annual reports is reclaimed, possesses ponds. The <br />permit does not address the presence of ponds at the site. This is cited as a problem (see page 3), and <br />will need to be addressed by the operator. <br />4. Mr. Hocker stated that Hocker Construction plans to submit a conversion application within the next few <br />months, to expand the permit, extending it to the south. Although the site is due for a recalculation of <br />the reclamation bond, this will be conducted during review of the conversion application. <br />I & E Contact Address Cc: ? CE <br />?
