r_ <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 Chimney Rock Mine for the month of August, 2000. <br />RECORDS: Records were inspected and found to be satisfactory. See page 5 of this report for further <br />details. <br />HYDROLOGIC BALANCE: All ponds have been removed and final drainages have been established.. <br />The double culverts that pass under the access road to the top of the east pit has plugged up and as a <br />result, water over-topped the road and deposited sediment onto the alfalfa field. THE SIGNIFICANCE <br />OF THIS EROSION IS NOT GREAT BUT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED ALTOGETHER IF REGULAR <br />VISITS TO THE SITE OR READING AND ACTING ON THESE INSPECTION REPORTS WERE <br />ACCOMPLISHED. <br />GENERAL MINE COMPLIANCE: The condition of the mine is satisfactory with the exception of the East <br />Pit road which requires the bar ditches and roadside ditch to be repaired and/or re-established. <br />RECLAMATION SUCCESS: The vegetation throughout the site is dry but stable. <br />
