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 Seneca II Mine conducted by Erica Crosby of DMG. No <br />company representative was present during the inspection. The Seneca II Mine status is active. <br />Both the Wadge and Wolf Creek Pits are open, and roughly 70 to 80 tons of coal is exposed and <br />will be removed. Both pits are on their final cut. The inspection involved viewing five aerial <br />photographs taken by Harry Ranney of DMG on March 18, 1997. Snow cover was present <br />throughout most of the mine site. <br />Roads The haul roads are clear of snow cover and appear passable. The in-pit haul roads are <br />under snow cover. <br />Hydrologic Balance A majority of the mine site was under snow cover. The Pecoco <br />impoundment contained water, and appeared to be discharging. No major erosion features were <br />noted. <br />Backfilling & Grading Both the Wadge and Wolf Creek Pits are open, and are on their final cut. <br />Backfilled areas appeared stable, and no erosion problems were noted. <br />
