The two ponds are permanent to serve the <br />post-mining land use of wildlife and rangeland. The access road to the site is also permanent. <br />The certificate of insurance is with National Union Fire Insurance and expires 9/1/97. <br />The site was snow covered, making observation of ground and vegetation conditions virtually <br />impossible. Some MSEIR Block 24 categories checked "1" were not observed in total, but there <br />were no observed indications of problems given the snow cover. Snow had been mostly wind <br />swept from the embankment crest of Pond 1 and grasses could be seen. The pond's spillway <br />systems were seen through the snow and there were no indications of any problems. Pond 2 is in <br />the lee of a small rise and appeared to have more snow cover. <br />No violations were observed during this inspection. <br />
