III. COMMENTS - COMPLIANGE <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 />supply pond was full and discharging a small amount of water to the ditch on the south side of <br />the facilities area, which dischazges to Sedimentation Pond 003. The Truck Wash settling pond <br />was neazly empty. <br />On April 12, 2005, SCC informed the DMG that the principal spillway on Pond 008 had rusted <br />out about 3 feet below the weep hole. The Pond 008 spillway was inspected on May 26`h. SCC <br />has made temporary repairs to the riser pipe. The pond appeazs to be dischazging through the <br />weep hole in the riser pipe and the embankment was stable at the time of the inspection. <br />The Pond 004 outlet pipe at the dischazge is also beginning to show signs of corrosion. SCC <br />indicated during this inspection that the riser pipe and dischazge pipe would be replaced. SCC is <br />in the process of preparing a technical revision with appropriate SEDCAD demonstrations for the <br />new dischazge structures for both Ponds 004 and 008 and is procuring new pipe for both ponds. <br />New as-built reports will be required for both Ponds 004 and 008 following the spillway <br />modifications. <br />Pond inlets, embankments and dischazge structures at all other sedimentation ponds appeazed to <br />be stable and no problems were noted at these locations. <br />Reveaetation <br />Dan Mathews from the DMG was working at the site of the Elk Fence/Shrub Study azea. He was <br />mazking the different seeding, planting, and treatment plots with metal stakes for future <br />identification of these azeas. <br />The operator was spraying for weeds along the access road above the Wadge Impoundment. <br />Hounds Tongue was the most prevalent weed noted in several locations along access roads and <br />pond embankments. SCC has updated the noxious weed management plan for the Seneca II <br />Mine. SCC submitted the new noxious weed management plan to the DMG and Routt County <br />on January 7, 2005. <br />
