Graham Roberts, Trapper Mine representative was present throughout the <br />inspection. Skies were cloudy and temperatures ranged between 30 and 50 degrees Fahrenheit. <br />Ash and coal were being hauled and spoil being transported and dumped; roads were being <br />watered. Ponds were discharging due to snowmelt. <br /> <br />MAINTENANCE ITEMS IDENTIFIED: <br />None identified at the time of this inspection. <br />o Due to the snowy ground conditions it was not possible to observe maintenance items <br />identified in last fall’s inspection. <br />o Oak system requires some maintenance as the inlet had jumped the channel forming a <br />rivulet that requires grading. <br />o The first dozer basin at Oak requires dredging. <br /> <br /> <br />INSPECTION: <br />GENERAL MINE PLAN COMPLIANCE: <br /> <br />One drag line, the Molly Brown was <br />operating, while the Queen Ann and Baby <br />Doe were idle. Activities in the pit were <br />observed. Reclamation appeared to be <br />progressing as per the permit. Ash pit, ready <br />line and strip line were observed and no <br />issues were identified at the time of <br />inspection. <br /> <br />Photo 1: (125119): Checking the weather <br />station. <br /> <br />
