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 />This was a partial inspection of the Seneca II-W Mine conducted by Erica Crosby of DMG. No <br />company representative was present during the inspection. The Seneca II-W Mine status is <br />active, and mining is currently taking place in the A Pit. The inspection involved viewing two <br />aerial photographs of the 006 Pond taken by Harry Ranney of DMG on October 23, 1997. <br />Weather conditions appear sunny and dry. <br />Roads The mine entrance road adjacent to Pond 006 appeared to be in good repair. The pond <br />006 slide has not yet affected the condition and use of the road. <br />Hydrologic Balance Sediment Pond 006 contained water, but discharge could not be detected. <br />There was a large sediment delta at the inlet of the pond, which encompassed roughly 1 /3 of the <br />pond area. The operator has informed the Division that a temporary diversion has been routed to <br />the B-Pit and that pond cleaning has recently begun. The slide adjacent to the pond was noted <br />in both photos. The slide does not appear to be impacting the function of the pond or the haul <br />road. Stability of the slide should be included in the pond 006 remodel. <br />
