i <br />.. <br />~I 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 conducted by Tony Waldron of DMG. <br />The mine is active and produces approximately 500,000 tons of coal <br />per year. The weather was clear and warm. <br />The inspection began by inspecting the access road to the #` 3 <br />portal along with associated drainage features. The lower slide <br />area appeared to be stable and the slide spring was only producing <br />a slight trickle. The drainage ditches for the road and the <br />disturbed area above the road were clear and stable. Associated <br />culverts were clear and functional. The slide area near the # 3 <br />portal was dry and no longer exhibited any movement. The material <br />that slid earlier this spring has been completely cleaned up and <br />the culverts and ditches were clear and functional. Ditches A and <br />B were both inspected and found to be functional. The sediment <br />pond contained a small amount of water below discharge level and <br />was stable. The Mine 1 and 2 reclaimed areas were inspected and no <br />problems were noted. The revegetation appears to have done very <br />well this year as all of the grass species were displaying <br />excellent seed heads and woody species appear to be invading <br />boundary areas. This concluded the inspection. <br />
