These ditches all <br /> appeared to be stable and functioning as designed. <br /> ROADS—Rule 4.03 Construction 4.03.1(3)/4.03.2(3)Drainage 4.03.1(4)/4.03.2(4) Surfacing and <br /> Maintenance4.03.1(5) and(6)/4.03.2(5)and(6)Reclamation 4.03.1(7)/4.03.2(7): <br /> -The remaining haul road was stable at the time of the inspection. There was minor rutting of the road in places <br /> due to use by a hunting outfitter during the fall and winter months. The rutting does not appear to be a problem at <br /> this time. The road is beginning to fill in with vegetation in many places due to lack of use. No erosional <br /> problems were noted on the road. <br /> RECLAMATION SUCCESS—Rule 4.15,Rule 3: <br /> -The site has been reclaimed and has been approved for a full Phase II Bond Release. The site is well vegetated, <br /> although all of the vegetation was dormant at the time of the inspection. There is one area of concern that was <br /> noted in inspection reports last year regarding weeds on the site. The entire site is infested with Russian and <br /> Diffuse Knapweed. The site was sprayed for weeds last fall. In order to get the knapweed infestation under <br /> control,CB Minerals will need to conduct concentrated weed spraying in both the spring and fall until the <br /> problem is under control. The Division will also address this issue in the current Permit Renewal. <br /> SIGNS AND MARKERS—Rule 4.02: <br /> -The mine ID sign was in place but the current sign does not have the Division's address and telephone number <br /> on it. Pursuant to Rule 4.30.2(3),please add the Division's name,address and phone number to the mine ID <br /> sign. This will need to be done prior to the Division's next inspection. <br /> DOCUMENTS RECEIVED: None <br /> This completes the Division's 22 March 2011 inspection report for the Coal Ridge Mine. <br /> Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 0 <br /> Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 3 <br /> Page 3 of 5 <br />
