III. COMMENTS -COMPLIANCE
Below are comments on the inspection. The comments include discussion of observations made
during the inspection. Comments also describe any enforcement actions taken during the inspection
and the facts or evidence supporting the enforcement action.
This was a complete inspection of the Munger Canyon Mine conducted by Mike Boulay of the DRMS
Grand Junction Field Office on May 13, 2009. I was not accompanied by an operator representative
during the inspection. Weather conditions were warm, clear and dry. Ground conditions were dry.
The majority of the mine site is reclaimed and there was no activity at the site during this inspection.
Several items were identified as needing to be repaired during the Phase I bond release inspection
conducted on 12/03/08 at the Munger Canyon Mine site. Please refer to the bond release inspection
report dated 12/16/08 for more details of these items and locations. The repair and maintenance was to
be conducted as soon as weather permitted full access to the site. Gary Isaac of CAM Mining LLC
informed me that these repairs had been completed, so we scheduled a complete inspection of the site
to view these areas. During this complete inspection on May 13th, I noted repairs had not been
satisfactorily completed at a few locations. These include three silt fences one each at the mine bench,
Channel H, and at the topsoil pile. Also the crack/slough that has opened up at the location of one of
the portal entries on the mine bench area has not been backfilled and stabilized as requested following
the bond release inspection. These locations are described below and photographs are provided.
Availability of Records
The availability of records was checked at the Munger Mine office on the afternoon of May 13th
Several items needed to be updated in the records file as described in the last complete inspection
report conducted on March 9, 2009. All of these items were updated as requested. All required
records were on file and available for review during this complete inspection and no problems were
identified with the records review.
Roads
The access road to the mine site was dry and the road was generally in good condition. No problems
were noted along its entire length up to the former portal bench access road.
Hydrologic Balance
East Salt Creek was flowing with turbid water due to snow melt runoff. Ditches and culverts
associated with the reclaimed waste disposal site, cover soil stockpile site, and the topsoil stockpile
locations were in good condition and maintained. The waste disposal area sediment pond was dry.
The inlet and discharge structures were stable.
The former portal bench access road was inspected. Overall the reclamation looks very good and there
has been minimal erosion since the reclamation was completed in 2007. All of the permanent drainage
