<br />III. COMMENTS -COMPLIANCE <br />Below are comments on the inspection. The comments include discussion of observations made <br />during the inspection. Comments also describe any enforcement actions taken during the <br />inspection and the facts or evidence supporting the enforcement action. <br />This was a partial inspection of the Coal Gulch Mine for the month of October, 1996. <br />The site is dry and appears to be stable. None of the seeps are flowing. <br />Coal gulch is dry. Fire Hawk Contractors, Inc. hit a buried water line while excavating a small <br />pit near the Coal Gulch Mine entrance gate, on Fire Hawk's property. The line drains water at <br />an estimated rate of 20 gpm. The water has a distinct hydrogen sulfide smell and is presumed <br />to originate within the old Victory No. 3 pre-law mine. Currently the flow sinks into the ground <br />before leaving the Fire Hawk property. Fire Hawk intends to bury the pipe and let it discharge to <br />the groundwater system, as it appears to have been doing up to the time it was uncovered. <br />
