AVAILABILITY OF RECORDS—Rule 5.02.4(1):
On the inspectors' arrival at the mine office, Ron Thompson was away on vacation. His office (containing the
records)was locked and not readily accessible. Other mine staff were able to access the office the following day,
and most of the records were located during the morning. Some attention needs to be paid to the filing of records
in order to insure that they are accessible by visitors to the mine in the event that Ron is absent and unable to act as
a guide.
FISH and WILDLIFE—Rule 4.18:
There was a lot of evidence of wildlife wandering across the Golden Eagle site.
HYDROLOGIC BALANCE -Rule 4.05:

4.05.10; Diversions 4.05.4; Effluent Limits 4.05.2; Ground Water Monitoring 4.05.13; Surface Water

There was no sign of any pooled water or excessive erosion. On the NE edge of the permit boundary there were
signs of some small rills forming (see photos 3-4). It could be that runoff from the adjacent firewood operation is
responsible,nevertheless this should be monitored by NECC and flow control measures taken if necessary.
