This was a complete inspection conducted by Joe Dudash of Colorado DMG. Basil Beaz represented the operator. The mine site has received a fair amount of precipitation in the last couple of weeks. The mine has been idled, although the loadout is still being used for Bowie No. 2 coal. Siens and Markers Mine identification signs were up at the required locations. The information on the signs was correct. Topsoil signs were also up at the topsoil stockpiles. Facilities The operator has eliminated the upper coal stockpile and nearly all of the lower coal stockpile at the loadout. A little coal was being tracked onto the highway from the loadout due to the intermittent wet weather conditions, but it did not appeaz to be enough to cause any problems. Coal haul trucks were unloading and no problems with fugitive dust were observed. The operator stated that a citizen had informed the mine that there was some smoldering coal at the highway temporary coal stockpile. The operator spread out the smoldering coal with a front end loader. This put out the smoldering. There also was a very small amount of smoldering coal on the crusher\screener bench. There were no problems noted at any of the facilities. The operator had dismantled the first 100 feet of conveyor line coming out of the main portal, for use at the Bowie No. Mine. The non-coal waste in the concrete collection bin at the tire shop had been removed. All of the barrels have been removed from the barrel storage area above the waste oil tank facility. The oil sump at the shop\warehouse was full of water and dischazging, but no oil or oil sheen were observed. 1
