MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID#: P-2008-043 PAGE: 3 <br />INSPECTION DATE: 5-1-09 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: ACS <br />stiffness of the soil prevented penetration of the five gallon bucket <br />more than a few inches past the surface, but it was observed that the <br />steel pail was well embedded. The actions taken were sufficient to <br />prevent rain runoff from entering the hole. Typically, the Division <br />recommends that the drill Kelly be lowered onto hole covers when the <br />drill rig will be unattended, but since there were no drill crew <br />onsite, this could not be done. <br />The Division reported the open unattended hole to the Office of the <br />State Engineer (OSE) on 5-4-09. The Division understands that the OSE <br />inspected the drilling operation on 5-6-09 and gave the driller a <br />verbal admonition about the open unattended hole, but is not taking a <br />formal enforcement action. <br />Inspection & Enforcement Contact Address <br />NAME Richard Blubaugh <br />OPERATOR Powertech (USA) Inc. <br />STREET 5575 DTC Parkway, Suite 140 <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP Greenwood Village, CO 80111
