Carnation Mine <br />The shed at the Carnation Mine has been broken into. The front door is ajar, and the rear door <br />was ripped open. Nothing of value was observed inside. The building should be repaired and <br />secured, or torn down if it is no longer needed. Halogeton was observed on the site. Rice grass <br />is fairly common. Puddles were observed on the top of the dump from recent rainfall. I walked <br />the entire toe of the dump and did not observe any vegetation characteristic of a seep developed <br />the waste rock/native ground interface. Lots of four wing salt bush, rabbit brush, and rice grass <br />were observed, along with halogeton at the toe of the dump. Rilling in the dump looks to have <br />been from previous years, and possibly slightly affected by recent rains. A nearby settling pond <br />across the road was full and had thousands of tadpoles in it, indicating that there had been water <br />in the pond for several weeks. <br />Figure I: Carnation Mine Entrance. <br />Page 3 of 34
