CYCC TCC 5/93 page the inspection requirements of the Colorado program. The decision not to require these inspections and certs was based on the fact that the ponds are constructed after reclamation as stockponds for the post-mining land uses of range land and pasture. After this became a TDN issue, twice referred to OSM-HO for review, DMG is now requiring the operator to meet all impoundment regulations. The abatement measures are to provide the as-builts and begin quarterly inspections with the abatement date set as 8/25/93. There were a number of conditions that constituted a violation, but the operator ~ fixed the problems prior to the end of the inspections. As such, NOV's were not issued for these problems. An 18" CMP has apparently been in place under the access road that runs in front of pond F for some time. There are designs for the CMP, but it is not shown on the approved maps. This structure was added to the maps. CMP's at the entrance to the new bathhouse location are designed, but are not shown on the approved maps either. These were also added to the maps. CYCC posted stream buffer zone signs along the creek near pond B. Signs had been posted along the creek on the other side of the access road, but not on the south side. An undesigned CMP existed at the entrance to the coal stockpile. This CMP was pulled out. There were also a number of conditions that are not in violation yet but exhibit signs of developing into violations. The CMP to the first in the series of ponds identified as pond B appears as if it may be starting to pipe. CYCC should examine this and fortify the headwall as necessary. The chemical storage area near the 1,000,000 gallon tank is bermed to catch any spills. It appears as if some disturbed areas could drain to this location. CYCC should ensure that this area does not become an impoundment. CYCC stated that their intentions were to reclaim the area during this season. The inlet to pond M is starting to erode. The high road to Eckman Park that parallels the rim has two areas that show signs of instability. CYCC should examine these locations and ensure that the required static safety factor required for permanent roads has been attained.
