Aerial photographs were also taken as part of this inspection by Harry Ranney with <br />DRMS on 4/14/2017. The report was prepared by Tabetha Lynch with the Division of Reclamation, Mining and <br />Safety. The weather was clear. No cows were observed grazing on the site at the time of inspection. No <br />reclamation activities appear to be occurring at the site at the time of inspection. Title IV work appears to be <br />continueing at the time of inspection. <br /> <br />The Division received notice on November 10, 2016 from MCM removing the Williams Fork Mine from <br />Temporary Cessation Status. The return to active status due to reclamation activites increases the inspection <br />frequency by the Division to two partial inspections and one complete inspection each quarter. The change in <br />status also returns the site to the orginal permit requirements with regard to hydrologic monitoring. <br /> <br />HYDROLOGIC BALANCE - Rule 4.05 <br />Drainage Control 4.05.1, 4.05.2, 4.05.3; Siltation Structures 4.05.5, 4.05.6; Discharge Structures 4.05.7, 4.05.10; <br />Diversions 4.05.4; Effluent Limits 4.05.2; Ground Water Monitoring 4.05.13; Surface Water Monitoring 4.05.13; <br />Drainage – Acid and Toxic Materials 4.05.8; Impoundments 4.05.6, 4.05.9; Stream Buffer Zones 4.05.18: <br /> <br />Ponds at the site appear to be dry at the time of inspection. <br />
