III. COMMENTS -COMPLIANCE Below are comments on the inspection. The comments include discussion of observations made during the inspection. Comments also describe any enforcement actions taken during the inspection and the facts or evidence supporting the enforcement action. On November 29, 1994 a complete inspection was conducted at the Apex Mine No.2. At the time of the inspection the weather was partly cloudy and very cold with a stiff breeze blowing. There was about a foot of snow on the ground; about 6 inches appeared to have fallen since yesterday. The county road was covered but was plowed this morning. This mine is undergoing permanent reclamation. The snow cover prevented inspecting the newly installed channel across the backfilled office area. The general configuration of the channel could be seen but the honeycomb geotextile and fill was covered. There were some fresh footprints walking up this drainage. The fence surrounding the facilities area was in good repair and the gate was closed. The pond was snow covered and didn't appear to have water or ice in the bottom. The road to the portal still requires additional reclamation. There could be additional work to help blend this road into the undisturbed area. Even though there are no available spoils to backfill this road it may be possible to roughen the road or when the berm around the facilities is removed this material could be placed on the road.
