needed to be cleaned and/or repaired. This work has not yet been completed. Brain indicated that they would
have their summer help clean the culverts they could clean by hand and that they would use other equipment to

ROADS—Rule 4.03Construction 4.03.1(3)/4.03.2(3)Drainage 4.03.1(4)/4.03.2(4) Surfacing and
Maintenance4.03.1(5)and(6)/4.03.2(5)and(6)Reclamation 4.03.1(7)/4.03.2(7):
The haul roads around the site were all well maintained and stable at the time of the inspection. The small gully
that has formed on the edge of the haul road on the east side of the mine still needs to be repaired. Brian indicated
that they would repair that portion of road when they had equipment on site to clean and repair the culverts.
RECLAMATION SUCCESS -Rule 4.15,Rule 3:
-Much of the reclaimed and revegetated areas were walked on this inspection to check the status of the Russian
Knapweed problem and other weeds. There was still no sign of any of the Russian Knapweed in the areas where it
was prevalent last year. There were old,dead plants but no signs of any of the florets growing at this time. The
operator will need to closely monitor the revegetated areas of the mine site and spray the knapweed as needed this
summer.
-There were several patches of white top noted in the field just north of the mine water discharge ponds. There
were also several patches of white top noted along the haul road on the west side of the mine and by pond SH-P2.
Brian indicated that they have contracted to have these areas sprayed and the spraying would be completed in the
next couple of weeks.
-There is hound's tongue along the haul roads and refuse piles on the east side of the mine,predominately. There
were also scattered plants on the west side of the mine(in particular by the pump area for the mine dewatering
pump). These areas are also scheduled to be sprayed.
-There were scattered thistle plants noted around the site. Thistle that has been seen in the past includes bull,
Canadian,musk and Scotch. The thistle is also scheduled to be sprayed.
SIGNS AND MARKERS—Rule 4.02:
-The operator has marked the area where they will place the new Mine ID signs at the entrance points along
Colorado Highway 13. One new location included the main mine entrance on the east side of Hwy 13, as
