III. Comments - Comoltance <br />Below are particular Issues with regard to any of the compliance items. <br />Enforcement actions resulting from failure to comply with the Act, Rules <br />and Regulations, and the permit also are Identified below. <br />Hvdroloaic Balance (4.05) <br />The operator has cleaned Sediment Pond A and placed the dredged material <br />above the pond on final graded overburden. <br />The operator is still experiencing a small Inflow of ground water Into <br />the pit. However, this water is being used for dust suppression <br />purposes and is not presenting a problem or restriction to mining in the <br />pit. The operator has blocked C ditch temporarily at the northwest <br />corner of the pit. At this time, there 1s no potential for environmental <br />damage, since disturbed water would be directed into the pit. This <br />blockage should be removed as soon as possible and C ditch either <br />funneled into the main pit area or directed to Sediment Pond C. <br />Topsoil (4.06) <br />The operator has marked the temporary stockpile to the east of the east <br />dump as requested by the Division. The Division also noted some <br />additional rtlling on the Topsoil Stockpile C on the south and east faces. <br />Wildlife (4.18) <br />Approximately a dozen sage grouse were observed on the southeast portion <br />of the permit area in foraging and loafing activities. Approximately 30 <br />antelope have made their winter home in the Mann Draw to the north and <br />east of the permit area. <br />
