COMMENTS
This complete coal inspection was conducted on July 19-21, 2011 by Rob Zuber of the Colorado Division of
Reclamation,Mining, and Safety(Division). The purpose of the inspection was to evaluate the on-the-ground
condition with respect to Trapper Mine's mining and environmental protection activities. Graham Roberts of TMI
accompanied the inspection in the field.
The weather was warm and clear. The ground was wet on all three days but especially on July 20th because the
mine received 0.47 inches of rain on July 19th. (This value was recorded at the office;per Graham Roberts the east
and central areas of the TMI site received more rain.)
