Final Inspection 2 September 5, 1997 <br /> American Tunnel Mine Waste Dump DMG Permit No. M-77-378 <br /> Consent Decree MRP <br /> American Tunnel Mine Waste Dump area, located on the north bank of South Fork <br /> Cement Creek, had been graded to blend with surrounding topography. Reclamation <br /> grasses were well established for approximately 60% of the affected area. Revegetation <br /> efforts included transplanting of willow bushes, and spruce and pine trees. Several seeps <br /> and/or springs were located along the base of the graded slope. Graded slope appeared <br /> stable, no evidence of slumping, sliding, or excessive erosion was observed. Surface <br /> drainage from upland areas is diverted around affected area by upland diversion ditch and <br /> county road drainage ditch. Seep drainage is conveyed through the affected area by <br /> several small drainage channels. Straw bail sediment filters were intact. Riprap lining at <br /> drainage channel outlet to South Fork Cement Creek were intact and stable. <br /> (end of report) <br /> cc: Allen Sorenson, DMG <br /> Sarah Johnson, CDPHE WQCD <br />
