Carpenter Enterprise Mine <br /> Type of Mine: 110 U/G Commodity Mined: Au, Ag <br /> PRE-RECLAMATION SITE CONDITIONS: <br /> The Enterprise Mine Bond Forfeiture Project is located in the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness Area of the Gunnison National <br /> Forest, near Taylor Park, Gunnison County Colorado. The Enterprise Mine was an underground gold and silver mining <br /> operation that was operated both as a historic mine, beginning in 1899, and more recently as a mine permitted by the State <br /> of Colorado. The Enterprise Mine is situated between the elevations of 11,700' aria 12,700' and consists of three(3)mine <br /> entry areas, a large waste pile located at the lower entry, and approximately three (3) miles of access road leading to the <br /> mine. <br /> The Purpose of this project was to reclaim as much of the man-made site disturbance as possible given the project funding <br /> limitations. Reclamation work will be geared toward minimizing site erosion and resultant sedimentation caused by the <br /> construction of mining related facilities. <br /> The Project work consisted of safeguarding two(2) open mine entries, removal of an abandoned aluminum travel trailer and <br /> other metallic debris from a historic site, construction of a French drain and backfilling and grading of a large open cut at the <br /> lower entry, the reclamation of the three (3) miles of mine access roads, and revegetation of approximately seven (7) acres <br /> of disturbed land. <br /> BIDDING/CONSTRUCTION INFORMATION: <br /> Type of Bid ( ) Documented Quote <br /> (X) Formal - Bid as the: Enterprise Mine Bond Forfeiture Project, PKA-9-608 <br /> PO Number: Contractor Name &Address: Construction Dates: Bond Amount: <br /> OE-PKA-09000000073 $ 3,800.00 <br /> J3 Environmental Company Start: 9/9/2009 <br /> on o P.O.

J3 Environmental Company <br /> was awarded the project on May 13, 2009 and construction began on September 9 with equipment and materials being <br /> mobilized to the project site. Construction of the French drain at the lower entry began on the morning of September 11 and <br /> was completed by the evening on the 13`h. This operation took longer than expected as there was limited riprap material at <br /> the lower entry and material had to be hauled down from the upper areas. <br /> The upper entry was also backfilled over the weekend and was ready for inspection on Monday, September 14. The middle <br /> entry was backfilled on the 15th while a DRMS Project Manager was on site. <br /> Asof051409 <br />
