AI Weaver of EFCI was present during the inspection. The Inspection also <br />included a bond release inspection for Phase I release at the loadout area. Present <br />during the bond release inspection, in addition to AI Weaver and Susan Burgmaier <br />were: David Beny, DMG; George Patterson, EFCI; Michael Markus, Ciy of Florence; <br />and Daniel Adamk, landowner. The other loadout area landowner, the Atchison, <br />Topeka, and Sarrta Fe Railway Company was not represented at the bond release <br />inspection. <br />The mine Is activey produdng and shipping coal. The loadout Is Inactive, and was <br />reclaimed in 1996 and eery 1997. <br />Rsaords were inspected and found to be in compliance. Documentation of records <br />reviewed is attached. <br />81gns and Marbrs were In place as required. The permit identification signs at the <br />bedout had been recently replaced. All other signs observed were legible and in <br />good condition. <br />Roads were well mairrtalned. Some of the requested work on the north side dRch on <br />the county road had been completed, but worts remained. Check dams had been <br />Installed, but the dRch itseff had rat been regreded. <br />FlydroloOb Bslarrorr <br />Sedimerrtatlon Pond 1 was quite full of sediment, with sediment rtgM at the disdrar+ge <br />gate. The previous Division inspection report had identified this problem and required <br />acllon by EFCI. The required survey had been conducted, but was somewhat <br />Incondusive. EFCI estimated the pond held 8096 to 9096 of fts available sediment <br />storage. DMG had required that the operator dredge the pond ff the survey indicated <br />it would be necressary. The operator Indicated the pond would be dredged on October <br />2nd, 1997. DMG had required ihat EFCI either demonstrate that the pond would <br />fundbn with the northeast Inlet, or remove the inlet. EFCI had not completed this <br />step. Accordingy, EFCI has until October 17th to make the required demonstretlon or <br />remove the inlet. Failure to compy with this requirement will resuR in an enforcement <br />action. <br />Sedimentation Pond 5 also was qufte full of sediment and scheduled to be dredged <br />October 2nd. Sediment was at the level of the discharge pipe. During the previous <br />DMG inspedkm, it was rated that the inlet culvert to Pond 5 was silting in. DMG <br />required that the culvert be leaned immediatey. <br />When first inspected on September 30th, 1997, the inlet area of the culvert had been <br />excavated, but the culvert was half full of sediment. At the dose of the first day of the <br />inspection, the culvert had been leaned. <br />Boitl~hld Mir C.a1-014 HapYmbu ~GO~M7br 1, 7887 <br />
