<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 inspection <br />and the facts or evidence supporting the enforcement action. <br />This was a complete inspection of the King Coal Mine for the month of March, 2000. There was <br />6-10 inches of snow on the ground and the snow was still falling. The mine was in a temporary <br />minimum operations mode with only essential people at the site. This condition should be concluded <br />in early April. <br />RECORDS: Records were inspected and found to be in compliance. Further details of the records <br />inspection can be found on page 5 of this report. <br />HYDROLOGIC BALANCE: Both ponds had water in them but were not discharging. The East pond <br />had approximately 3 feet of water in it and the West pond had about 4 feet. The ponds are stable <br />and capable of functioning as designed. All culverts and ditches were inspected and all were found <br />to be capable of functioning as designed. <br />GENERAL MINE COMPLIANCE: The site is well maintained and stable. No problems were noted <br />during the inspection. <br />EXCESS SPOILS AND DEVELOPMENT WASTE: The waste pile is stable and all water is diverted off <br />the top and into ditches, however the pile needs to be graded to the correct slope and the lifts <br />should be no more than 1 foot to insure proper compaction is achieved. <br />Work on the 100 year clean water diversion ditch and the riprapped side ditches should <br />commence in May of this year. <br />', "ter'. ~ e .S- .~.a .'~N`!
