Comments also describe any enforcement actions taken during the inspection and the }acts or evidence supporting the enforcement action. This aerial inspection was flown on Friday, March 9, 2001. The digital images were reviewed on March 13, 2001. There were no compliance problems that had been observed during the aerial overflight. There was scattered snow in the higher elevations. Train Loadout A train was in the loadout area, waiting for loading operations to begin. It appeared that blackish water was spilling out of the tops of the two western-most silos, running down the silo sides and out into the yazd azea. However, the water did not flow very faz and was contained within the sediment control system. There also appeared to be some blackish water on the west side of the train loadout,just south of the grizzly. Again, the water did not flow very far and all of it was contained within the sediment control system. One haul truck was inside the grizzly, unloading coal, and one was on highway 133, leaving the train loadout. There were no signs of fugitive dust. There were no signs of coal on the highway, although there was a black stain on the highway pavement. Highway Coal Stockpile The coal has been removed from the stockpile area, although a black residue remains. There was no activity at the stockpile, except for the idle train. No signs of fugitive dust were observed. The sedimentation pond had a considerable amount of water in it, close to capacity. East Mine Structural demolition is proceeding at a fairly rapid pace. Demolition of most of the large structures is in progress. The demolition is taking place on all benches except for the fan bench. There is quite a lot of structural material temporarily stored at each bench, awaiting shipping out. All of the roads at the mine site appeared to be passable and in fairly good shape. There was some snow on the road leading up to the fan bench. The fan bench was covered in snow.
