<br />III. COMMENTS -COMPLIANCE <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 <br />inspection and the facts or evidence supporting the enforcement action. <br />This was a partial aerial inspection of the Bowie Mine No. 1. The <br />inspection was flown by Harry Ranney on April 12, 1996 and reviewed <br />by Tony Waldron on May 10 ,. 1996. The mine is active and produced <br />approximately 500,000 tons of coal in 1995. <br />Ponds 1 and 2 were holding some water as was pond 3. It was not <br />possible to determine if pond 4 was holding water. The refuse <br />disposal pond was also holding water as was the ROM coal stockpile <br />pond and the west mine pond. It was not possible to determine if <br />any of the ponds were discharging. <br />The refuse disposal pile was inspected and appeared to be stable <br />and well vegetated. Construction has not begun on the expected <br />expansion to this pile as of this inspection. There did not appear <br />to be a surge coal stockpile near the truck loadout. Roads on the <br />site appeared to be in good condition. <br />This concludes the inspection. <br />
