III. Comments - Compliance
Below are particular issues with regard to any of the compliance items.
Enforcement actions resulting from failure to comply with the Act, Rules
and Regulations, and the permit also are identified below.
Signs and Markers (4.02)
1. Upon permit issuance, boundary markers should be installed to
delineate the approved surface disturbance boundaries.
Hydrologic Balance (4.05)
1. During the fall of 1983, Grand Mesa reported discharges which
exceeded NPDES limitations for suspended solids and oil and grease.
Subsequently, the Health Department inspected the site and, at their
recommendation, a 45° elbow was attached to the pond side of the
discharge pipe to act as an oil and grease skimmer.
A stipulation will be attached to the permanent program permit
which will require the operator to document that the existing sediment
pond is designed to provide sufficient capacity and detention time for
surface runoff and mine water discharge or provide for appropriate
modification.
The. pond was being dewatered at the time of the inspection,
and the water appeared relatively clear.
Underground Development Waste (4.09)
1. Grading and compaction of waste was completed in July, 1983
and a Quarterly Certified Refuse Inspection was submitted to the Division
in October, 1983. The Division requested additional material testing
results in order to evaluate the adequacy of the compaction achieved.
Additional information was submitted to the Division on January 13, 1964.
The Division has not yet completed its determination regarding
the adequacy of the reported compaction values.
2. The operator indicated that a portion of the covered waste had
been reseeded but the job had not been completed due to snow. The
remainder of the area is to be reseeded and mulched as soon as conditions
allow, and prior to April 15, 1984.
