yi <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 />All of the culverts and ditches at the mine site were functional. However, the ditch between the <br />entrance road and the contractor's area will need redefining soon. Silt fence and straw bales were <br />up azound the mine site and were functional. <br />The two seep areas above the portal bench were wet and water was flowing for a short distance. <br />Topsoil Stockpiles <br />There were no signs of erosional gullying on any of the topsoil stockpiles. Straw bales aze in <br />place to retain sediment. The recent addition fo the main topsoil stockpile has been seeded. <br />Topsoil stockpile signs were present. <br />Gob Pile <br />There were quite a few small piles of gob on the back side of the gob pile. When enough material <br />is present, the small piles will be incorporated into the gob pile. The top of the gob pile was dry <br />and had positive drainage. Diversion and collection ditches were functional. The west side <br />drainage was cleaz. The culvert and Swale at the entrance to the gob pile were functional. There <br />was no erosional gullying on the gob pile outslope. The underdrain was exposed at the rear of the <br />gob pile. <br />S1QI15 and Markers <br />Mine ID signs were up at each entrance and where the permit boundary crosses the public road. <br />Mine information was correct. Surface disturbance mazkers were also up along the disturbed azea <br />perimeter. It would be a good idea to put up a few more surface disturbance markers azound the <br />new disturbance south of old highway 133. <br />Roads <br />The paved main haul road was in good condition. The guazd rail was in place. With the <br />anticipated completion of the conveyor and reclaim system in December of this year, most of the <br />haul road traffic on this road will be eliminated. The haul road to the gob pile was in good shape <br />Z <br />
