MINE ID # OR PROSPECTING ID #: m-199s_n is <br />INSPECTION DATE: Z-14-9nn9 INSPECTOR=S INITIALS: 11 F <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />This was a follow-up inspection to the full site release inspection (conducted 6-30-2009) of the <br />Wellington Downs Pit; DRMS File# M-1995-035. I, Jared Ebert of the Colorado Division of Reclamation, <br />Mining and Safety conducted the inspection. Ms. Tracey Trybom of Connell, Resources accompanied me <br />on the inspection. <br />This site was inspected on June 301h, 2009 in response to a full site release request submitted by the <br />operator. During that inspection, Musk thistle and Canada thistle were observed throughout the site. The <br />operator was required to treat the infestation prior to the approval of the site release. At this time, <br />treatments had been completed and the operator notified the Division and requested a follow up <br />inspection. <br />Upon arrival at the site, the operator gave me a map of the permit area that highlighted where the various <br />weed infestations were treated and a letter from the company that conducted the weed control. The map <br />was color coded to indicate what type of treatments had occurred. The Musk thistle patches were mowed <br />(See figure 5.), and the patches of Canada thistle were treated with a herbicide. The herbicide appears to <br />be taking affect; many of the Canada thistle patches appeared burnt and distressed (See figures 1-3.). <br />Given that the weed control has occurred and appears to be successful, the site is now eligible for release, <br />and the site release request will be approved.
