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 partial inspection of the Coal Gulch Mine conducted by of the Colorado Division of <br />Reclamation, Mining and Safety. No one else was present. No problems were found on the site. <br />The permit for this mine was revoked more than 10 years ago. DRMS's IML program had reclamation <br />work done on the site in September 1994. <br />The ground was covered with patches of snow. <br />Hydroloeic Balance <br />Both ponds appeared to hold little water underneath the snow cover. As mentioned in past inspection <br />reports, the lower pond has the remnants of the inlet of a primary spillway culvert, but the outlet on the <br />outslope of the embankment cannot be found. <br />Slides and Damage <br />No slope stability problems or new erosion were evident. <br />Reclamation Success <br />There is a fair amount of vegetative cover on the disturbed areas, and several patches of thistle that <br />cover a few hundred square feet on the site. <br />
