Ill. 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 mine site is currently completing the final <br />stages of reclamation of disturbed areas. Ground conditions were mostly dry and the <br />weather was clear and mild. Ron Thompson of Peak Project Management accompanied me <br />on the inspection. <br />Hydrologic Balance <br />Ponds visited at the site were found dry. Ponds 6, 7, 8, 9, and 9a were all dry, indicating that <br />recent weather within the past week produced little in terms of storm runoff. <br />Ditches, especially at the base of the steep north-facing slope, are nearly full of sediment and <br />require cleanout to result in proper function. <br />A small gully has developed on the north-east corner of the far eastern bench of the <br />reclaimed area. This gully may need some touch-up with soil material and re-seeding. Also, <br />it may be of benefit to limit any runoff contributions from the bench above, possibly with straw <br />bales, to prevent any future problems. <br />Topsoil <br />The topsoil borrow area located in the bottom of Jeff Canyon, shown below, has been <br />regraded, mulched, and re-seeded. <br />_?{,? ?•?- ??.,- ? .'i . ? ..:;mss..., ?''11?? <br />T <br />• ?- <br />s,4,w ? •?.r,Sti <br />• <br />i'?? - <br />Ez' <br />
