_ <br />MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: m_9nnn-009 <br />INSPECTION DATE: 5 91-9nn9 INSPECTOR=S INITIALS: 11 F <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This was a follow-up inspection of the Tanabe Pit; DRMS file #M-2000-002. This site is located at 112th and <br />Brighton Road, in Adams County, Colorado. 1, Jared Ebert of the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and <br />Safety conducted the inspection. No one from the operation accompanied me on the inspection. <br />This inspection was conducted to follow-up on the corrective actions required from the September 26th, 2008 <br />site inspection. Two problems were identified during the September inspection. The following narrative will <br />list the problems as they were identified in the September 2008 inspection report, and a description of the <br />current status of these issues will be given. <br />1.) Weed species were observed at the southern portion of the permit area. <br />a. Problem Cited: <br />i. Russian olive and Tamarisk trees have volunteered into the site and are becoming <br />established. This is a problem at this time for failure to employ weed control for weed <br />species that threaten the development of the desired vegetation. This is pursuant to <br />Rule 3.1.10 (6). <br />b. Corrective Action Taken: <br />i. The operator appears to have cut down and removed the trees that were present in this <br />portion of the permit area including the Russian olive and Tamarisk trees. It appears <br />that the slash from these cuttings has also been removed from the site. Since the <br />cutting treatment, the tamarisk trees have begun to sprout from the base of their <br />stumps. The operator will need to continue to monitor and mitigate the noxious weeds <br />found within the permit area. If the infestation is allowed to continue, the permit will <br />not be released. <br />2.) Trash and refuse was observed at the northern end of the site. <br />a. Problem Cited: <br />Trash and refuse was noticed on the site just north of the reservoir. This is a problem at <br />this time for failure to dispose of refuse in a manner that controls unsightliness or <br />deleterious effects of such refuse. This is pursuant to C.R.S. 34-32.5-116 (4) (e). <br />b. Corrective Action Taken: <br />i. It appears that the trash has been removed. <br />Overall, the operator has completed the corrective actions required from the September 2008 Inspection.
