Wade Wymore of GCC accompanied the <br /> inspection and represented GCC. <br /> The weather was cool and dry. Patchy snow still is present in areas throughout the mine and adjacent land. <br /> AIR RESOURCE PROTECTION—Rule 4.17: <br /> The wind was fairly calm, Coal dust was not blowing at the time of the inspection. The operator discussed <br /> replacing the "windows"on the clean coal stacker. Several of the flaps were missing or worn. Replacement of <br /> these safeguards should minimize coal dust blowing off site,or on to the adjacent topsoil stockpile. <br /> AVAILABILITY OF RECORDS—Rule 5.02.4(1): <br /> Mine records were inspected after completion of the ground inspection.
