III. COMMENTS -COMPLIANCE <br />Below are comments on the inspection. The comments include discussion of <br />observations made during the inspection. Comments also describe any <br />enforcement actions taken during the inspection and the facts or evidence <br />supporting the enforcement action. <br />This was a partial inspection of the Sunlight Mine conducted by Erica Crosby <br />of DMG. The mine is a bond forfeiture site, therefore, no company <br />representative was present during the inspection. Weather conditions on <br />site were clear and warm. Ground conditions were damp. <br />Roads A small berm has been place at the entrance of the road leading to the <br />upper portal area. This berm should eliminate any vehicles on the reclaimed <br />area. The lower road was cleared of vegetation. <br />Hydrologic Balance The upland diversion ditch appeared to be in good <br />repair. The berm at the lower fan area was intact. No mine water discharge <br />was noted from the fan portal. <br />Backfilling & Grading The backfilled portals are intact and show no signs <br />of failure. <br />Processing Waste The crib wall showed no signs of major instability. Some <br />of the timbers appear weak. <br />Revegetation Very little vegetation was noted on site due to lack of <br />topsoil. The mine site is dominated by coal fines and debris. <br />
