,_ <br />III. COMMENTS -COMPLIANCE <br />Below are comments on the inspection. The comments include discussion of observations made during <br />the inspection. Comments also describe any enforcement actions taken during the inspection and the <br />facts or evidence supporting the enforcement action. <br />This was a complete inspection of the Carbon Junction Mine for the month of February, 2001. The <br />weather is snowing hard and has deposited - 1 foot of snow so far. <br />Availability of Records: The records were not inspected due to the building being locked and prior <br />arrangements inadvertently not being made. <br />Signs and Markers: The Mine ID sign is still out of date and requires the correct address ,phone number <br />and point of contact listed. <br />Hydrologic Balance: All ditches, culverts and ponds were inspected. The main Carbon Junction <br />diversion ditch at the head of the fill area (low water crossing) has filled in with sediment and is <br />no longer capable of handling the required design flow. This ditch has is supposed to 6e repaired <br />by Four Corners Gravel, but due to the heavy snow and soft ground underneath, work has not <br />been accomplished. Both ponds were covered with approximately one foot of snow but appeared stable <br />and were not discharging. All culverts were clear and capable of functioning as designed. <br />Excess Spoil and Develoament Waste :The area of the waste pile that was topsoiled has finally been <br />seeded although the Division has not received a report of how many acres or the seed mixture of the <br />reclamation work. This information still must be submitted to the Division. <br />General Mine Compliance: The site needs a sustained weed control program restarted this spring and <br />an overall inspection/repair to the hydrologic structures prior to winter setting in order to prevent a spring <br />runoff becoming unmanageable. <br />
