III. COMMENTS -COMPLIANCE <br />Below are comments on the inspection. The comments include discussion of observations made <br />during the inspection. Comments also describe any enforcement actions taken during the <br />inspection and the facts or evidence supporting the enforcement action. <br />A complete inspection of the O.C. #2 Mine was performed by <br />Christine Johnston of the Division. No one representing the <br />operator was present during the inspection. At the time of the <br />inspection I met with Bob Harris with the Gunnison County Road & <br />Bridge division and Barbara Stratman, the landowner. We met to <br />discuss a reclamation plan for the road that would satisfy the <br />county, the landowner, and our regulations. The operator is in the <br />process of reclaiming the mine. <br />Availability of Records <br />Records for the mine site were viewed the day <br />'inspection with the operator, Bob Weaver. <br />accompanying form entitled, DMG Availability <br />details records reviewed. The operator should <br />that all pond inspection reports are inclu~ <br />records. <br />Roads <br />following the site <br />Please see the <br />of Records, which <br />continue to ensure <br />3ed with the mine <br />The road to the mine is a county road and ends at the mine. In the <br />past, the county has used the lower bench of the O.C. #2 Mine for <br />their turn-a-round for snow plows and other road maintenance <br />equipment. With the reclamation of the mine, the use of the bench <br />for a turn-a-round is no longer feasible. There is a wide spot in <br />the road between the entrance gate to the mine and where the road <br />splits. Mr. Harris believed this section of road would be adequate <br />to use as a turn-a-round. Mrs. Stratman had no objections and <br />stated that she would like the road to the upper bench and <br />explosive magazines to be reclaimed. Mr. Harris stated that the <br />county would continue to maintain the culvert installed by the <br />county that is located to the east of the mine identification sign. <br />He also stated that when the mine is reclaimed it should continue <br />to drain water away from the road. <br />Backfillina & Grading <br />The fan portal has been backfilled since the Division's last <br />inspection. <br />1 <br />
