III. COMMENTS -COMPLIANCE <br />Below are comments on the inspection. The comments include discussion of observations made during <br />the inspection. Comments also describe any enforcement actions taken during the inspection and the <br />facts or evidence supporting the enforcement action. <br />This was a complete inspection of the King Coal Mine for the month of November, 2000. The site is back <br />to normal operations and the "bone-yard" is cleared of waste. Most of the recent snowfall has melted, with <br />the exception of north facing slopes. <br />RECORDS: Records were inspected and found to be in compliance. Further details of the records <br />inspection can be found on page 5 of this report. <br />HYDROLOGIC BALANCE: Both ponds had water in them but were not discharging. The East pond had <br />approximately 3 feet of water in it and has been partially cleaned. The West pond had about 1.5 feet of <br />water and appears to have been partially cleaned. The ponds are stable and capable of functioning as <br />designed. All culverts and ditches were inspected and all were found to be clean and capable of <br />functioning as designed. <br />GENERAL MINE COMPLIANCE: The site is well maintained and stable. No problems were noted during <br />the inspection. The SAE rock check dams have been revitalized and appear to be able to function <br />properly. <br />EXCESS SPOILS AND DEVELOPMENT WASTE: The waste pile is stable and all water is diverted off <br />the top and into the newly formed fabric and rock lined ditches. Work on the 100 year clean water <br />diversion ditch and the riprapped side ditches have been completed and are exceptionally well <br />constructed. <br />
