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 inspection <br />and the facts or evidence supporting the enforcement action. <br />This was a partial inspection of the GEC Mine conducted by Sandy Brown and Susan <br />Burgmaier of DMG. The bond for this site has been forfeited, and reclamation was <br />completed DMG. Weather conditions were clear and dry, and ground conditions were <br />dry. The inspection was conducted by vehicle. <br />The East Mine area erosion appeared to have accelerated over the summer months. The <br />operator of the nearby Southfield Mine reported a number of heavy rains throughout the <br />summer, and their impact at the GEC site was apparent. Vegetative cover between <br />gullies is good, and appears to be fairly diverse. Vegetative cover in the Section 24 areas <br />is good, with no signs of excessive erosion. One exception is the existing gully in the <br />main channel of the Orphan Pit, which is not yet stabilized. <br />
