III. COMMENTS -COMPLIANCE Below are comments on the inspection. The comments include discussion of observations made during the inspection. Comments also describe any enforcement actions taken during the inspection and the facts or evidence supporting the enforcement action. This was the 3r° quater complete inspection for the Deserado Mine. The inspection began the morning of September 11, and was completed on September 12. Weather was somewhat unsettled, with partial cloud cover and light showers occurring sporadically both days. Operator contacts present were Bill Lepro on Sept. 11, and Dave Anderson on Sept. 12. Availability of Records Required records were on file in the mine office, current through the 2"° quarter, 1996. The haul/access road "statement in lieu of certification" and narrative certification of Sediment Pond RP-5 referenced in the previous complete inspection report were both on file. oads Primary roads in the permit area had recently been graveled and graded, and road surfaces and drainage structures generally appeared to be in good condition. Straw bale checks along the median ditch between the D Portal Access Road and the Refuse Haul Road had been re-positioned as suggested in the June inspection report, and they appeared to be working well, as all of the culvert drop inlets were clear. Culverts along this segment of road were clear and functional, and ditch outfalls were in appropriate locations and rocked where necessary. The 8" diam. pipe at the lower end of this road segment had been removed as recommended in the previous complete inspection. Maintenance is necessary to replace straw bale checks above the drainage outlet at the second road blister up the access road from the administration building. Also, minor sediment cleanout and re- staking of straw bales along lower segments of the median ditch will be necessary.
