.. III. Co~n~nents - Compliance Below are particular issues with regard to any of the above compliance items. Enforcement actions resulting from failure to comply with the Act, Rules and Regulations, and the permit also are identified below. 1. Mr. Mitchell indicated that a new coal stockpile was to be built at the mine entrance road adjacent to Hubbard Creek. This area was previously disturbed by the operator and had been used to stockpile coal waste in the past. The area is within the approved MLRD permit boundary and is designated as a storage yard. I told Mr. Mitchell that he should check to ensure that the new stockpile is covered under Blue Ribbons' Emissions Permit. Upon returning to the office I contacted Mr. Scott Miller (Department of Health, APCD, 125 North 8th Street, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501,(Telephone: 245-2400) concerning the Emissions Permit in question. Based on my description of the operation and his cursory review of the application it was his preliminary opinion that a new permit for the stockpile would be needed. We agreed that Blue Ribbon should address this concern with the Air Pollution Control Division prior to constructing the pile. I notified Mr. Julian Mitchell of Blue Ribbon Coal Company concerning this issue by phone on January 31, 1983 so that prompt resolution would occur. If a new permit is in fact required, Blue Ribbon should forward a copy of the final and approved Emissions Permit to MLRD when available. 2. Sedimentation pond engineers certificaton needs to be submitted. Mr. hlitchell said they are nearing completion of the certification. 3. The road warning sign needs to be installed at the mine entrance, also the permit number should be changed to C-047-81. 4. Coal was noted spilled on the Hubbard Creek road below the mine and, although a small amount, should be cleaned up. 5. Mine records were available with the exception of the Emissions Permit which could not be located. This permit needs to be on file at all times. 6. The grade at the corner of the office/shop area needs to be increased to contain water from the portal bench and to prevent water from flowing down the access road. Currently some pad drainage flows down the road which only increases the maintenance burden put on the access road.
