III. Comments - Compliance Below 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. 1. Upon inspection of the permit boundary and a discussion witn i4r. Mitchell it was noted that the permit boundary has been clearly marked. White PVC pipe is used as a marker. 2. Records were being kept on file and up to date at the mine. 3. The operator has installed a new pipe and inlet to drain the mine bench. The pad has had some grading to establish positive drainage to this drain. However, the iJ.'W. edge of the pad does not drain to the new pipe. Either the old drain needs to be reestablished to control this area, or the pad needs to be reyraded to ensure all runoff from the pad does not pond or flow over the outslope. The original compliance date of December 15, 1983 is still in effect to complete the drainage modification. 4. The access road appeared well maintained, little or no rock debris were noted in the roadside ditch. 5. The operator Yias a small truck size pile of coal on the switchback pad for use by the employees. .4 r. fitchell was instructed to remove the pile. Coal cannot be stored in this pad since it drains only to a cneck dam not a sedimentation pond. Any remaining coal fines should be scraped up and dumped on the waste pile. 6. The new truck scale and security guard shed has been completed. Work was well done with no significant disturbance to the streambank noted. 7. The old truck scale does not appear to need any interim reclamation at this time. However, a fence is needed to keep the public out of the permit area. The fence should reduce the possibility of any damage or dumping on the site. 8. Survey monwnents have been installed on the mine bench and outslope.
