Comments also describe any enforcement actions taken during the <br />inspection and the facts or evidence supporting the enforcement action. <br />This was a complete inspection of the New Horizon Mine for the month of May, 1998. <br />AVAILABILITY OF RECORDS: Records were inspected and found to be complete and <br />satisfactory. See page 5 of this report for more details. <br />HYDROLOGIC BALANCE: Mine 1: Ponds 1 and 6 had water in them but only 1 was discharging <br />as normal, all other ponds were dry. All ditches and culverts are functioning as designed. Mine <br />2: Pond 7 had water in ti but was not discharging. All ditches and culverts were clear and <br />capable of functioning as designed. <br />BACKFILL & GRADING: B & G was in progress as is normal. <br />EXPLOSIVES: Records were complete, accurate, and up to date. Videos of a recent blast were <br />observed and everything appears to be in order. <br />TOPSOIL: The topsoiling for this year had just been completed and the seeding of the topsiol is to <br />comence within the next two days. A topsoil depth survey for this area will probably be <br />conducted at the next complete inspection <br />RECLAMATION SUCCESS: Vegetation continues to do well. The Rice tract area was being <br />grazed by cattle which should aid in next years growth when the site is harrowed. <br />
