t L <br />III. COMMENTS -COMPLIANCE <br />Below are comments on the inspection. The comments include discussion of observations made during <br />the inspection. Comments also describe any enforcement actions taken during the inspection and the <br />facts or evidence supporting the enforcement action. <br />This was a complete inspection of the Hamilton Mine for the month of November, 2000. Most of the <br />recent snowfall has melted and the site is satisfactory with the exception noted below. <br />RECORDS: Records were inspected and found to be satisfactory. See page 5 of this report for further <br />details. <br />ROADS: The section of road along the Area 1 access road of the mine is deteriorating due to vehicular <br />traffic during times when the road is muddy. Maintenance in the form of additional gravel <br />or the installation of water bars to drain the road will need to accomplished <br />prior to the next complete inspection. All other sections of the road appear stable. <br />HYDROLOGIC BALANCE: All ditches and culverts are clear and capable of functioning as designed. <br />Pond A was dry at the time of the inspection, Pond B had about two feet of standing water but was not <br />discharging. <br />RECLAMATION SUCCESS: The site's vegetation is doing well in most locations. The easterly portion <br />of the mine still continues to improve but is substantially less than the western side. The site is very <br />stable as far as erosion is concerned. <br />
