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 />On March 11, 1992 a complete inspection was conducted at the O.C. Mine. Robert <br />Weaver, the mine operator and owner, was present during the inspection. The <br />weather was clear and warm. Roads were wet and soft from recent snow melt and <br />freeze thaw action. <br />This mine has not operated since the latter part of February. Mr. Weaver said <br />that the closure was due to MSHA's concerns with poor roof conditions within the <br />mine, Mr. Weaver said that he would submit a temporary cessation notice. The <br />mine may go up for sale within the next few months. The BLM granted a <br />suspension of coal fees because of the "force majeure." <br />The records are now being kept at the home of Mr. Weaver and were brought to <br />the mine site. Records were checked and were in order. <br />Mr. Weaver calculated the volume of the waste pile to be less than 200 yds. <br />The pond was covered with snow. However water was noted to be flowing off the <br />coal storage/ crusher bench into the ditch to the pond. Ditches and culverts <br />along the roads were working effectively. <br />Concerns that Mr. Weaver had with the Division's Preliminary Adequacy Review <br />were discussed and he said that he should have these to the Division by Monday. <br />No problems were noted. <br />
