III. Comments - Compliance Be]ow are particular issues with regard to any of the compliance items. Enforcement actions resulting from failure to comply with the Act, Rules and Regulations, and the permit also are identified below. 4.02 Signs and Markers Mr. Wilson stated that periineterinarkers would soon be erected. The corners of the permit area are presently marked. 4.05 Hydrologic Balance 1. The dewatering pipe of pond Z was plugged with sediment. The pipe must be cleaned as soon as possib]e. 2. The operator must submit certification by a registered professional engineer, that sediment ponds K and Z have been constructed as designed and keep a copy of the certification at the mine site. 3. Sediment pond A must be constructed as soon as possible. A small amount of disturbance in the drainage area has already occurred. The drainage ditches that are designed to lead to sediment pond A were discussed with Mr. Wilson. Because of the presence of numerous foundations from the old town of Pryor, and undulating topoyraphy, it was agreed that these ditches would be difficult to construct. It was suggested to Mr. Wilson that t~vo additional ponds with short drainage ditches be constructed. A technical revision would have to be submitted for Division approval. 4.06 Topsoil It was observed that very little undisturbed topsoil is present in the location of the 1982 pit (the pit being actively mined). Numerous foundations from the old town of Pryor are present in the pit area. In addition, coal waste and clinker are spread over much of the surface. I~r. Wilson was told that small amount of clinker or coal waste should not preclude topsoil salvage but amounts that would noticeably color the topsoil black should be avoided. Topsoil stockpile markers should be erected as soon as possible. 4.14 Backfilling and Grading The operator was actively backfilling the northwestern portion of the 1982 pit.
