DRNIS File# M-1995-035. The site is located <br />approximately 1.5 miles \\cst of the town of"Fimnath. Colorado in Larimer County. Jared F.hert. Eric Scott and Tony <br />Waldron ol'the Colorado Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety conducted the inspection. Ms. 'I'racey l'rybom of <br />Connell Resources. Inc. accompanied us on the inspection. <br />In April of?008, Connell Resources requested a full site release fir the Wellington DoN\ [is Pit, and the site was inspected <br />in Mav of'that vear. The release was denied because of inadequate perennial vegetation cover found around the southern <br />portion of the reservoir. Russian olive trees were present on the site, and metal tanks refuse were also located on the site. <br />Since then, it appears that the operator has seeded and mulched the southern portion ofthe reservoir. and the desired <br />vegetation has established. Also, the metal tanks and refuse Kaye been removed from the permit area, and the Russian <br />olive trees have been controlled. A patch ol* Musk'I'histle has established on the south west portion ofthc mine site (See <br />Figure I ). Also, there were numerous patches of Canada thistle that were observed at file site. This is cited as a problem <br />at the end of this report. 'I hese weeds and any others will need to be treated prior to the release of'this site. Accordin_u, to <br />Ms. 'fr}born, Connell Resources intends on treating the weeds within the next 16\ weeks. <br />The decision date For the release of this site has been extended to August 31 ", 2009 in order for the wccd issue to he <br />addressed.
