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 complete inspection conducted by Kent Gorham of the Colorado Division of <br /> Reclamation, Mining, and Safety(Division). This mine permit is bond revoked. The weather <br /> was clear and mild. Ground conditions were generally dry with only isolated areas of mud. <br /> Access on foot was good in all areas. <br /> Hydrologic Balance <br /> Rill and gully erosion continues in areas as previously identified in past inspections. No new <br /> areas have developed, although quantitative estimates are not possible to determine. <br /> Arresting and limiting storm runoff at the heads of the larger gullies would assist in preventing <br /> further head-cutting. <br /> Revegetation <br /> The growing season is in full swing in all areas. Grasses, forts, and shrubs are actively <br /> growing in all areas where severe erosion and sedimentation is not occurring. Cattle were <br /> not evident at the East Pit, West Pit, Chen's Hill, or the Orphan Pit areas. Overall, the site <br /> appeared normal with no new problems apparent. <br /> 3 <br />
