There was <br />evidence, recent cow-pies, trampling, hoof prints, in the Pond 11A area. No cows were on the site at the time of <br />the inspection. <br /> <br />SIGNS AND MARKERS – Rule 4.02: <br /> The mine ID sign at the Pond 13 gate needs the correct phone number put on to this sign. <br /> <br /> <br />DOCUMENTS RECEIVED NA <br />OTHER (SPECIFY) NA <br /> <br />ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS/COMPLIANCE <br /> <br />No enforcement actions were initiated as a result of this inspection.
