111. COMMENTS -COMPLIANCE <br />Below are comments on the inspection. The comments include discussion of observations made <br />during the inspection. Comments also describ2 any enforcement actions taken during the <br />inspection and the facts or evidence supporting the enforcement action. <br />"~. <br />On April 23, 1997, William ].Carter from'fi41e Division of Minerals and Geology, accompanied <br />by Basil Bear, performed a partial inspection at"the Bowie #2 Mine. The weather was cloudy anti <br />cool during this inspection. <br />Siens and Markers: <br />New signs have been placed to properly identifying the mine as well as the topsoil pile <br />Roads: <br />New and existing roads are muddy but stable, even with the heavy precipitation that has been <br />occurring over the last few days. <br />HvdroloSic Balance: <br />• Construction of Pond B is well underway. <br />All vegetation and topsoil appear to have been removed and temporarily stored. <br />Subsoils have also been removed and temporarily stored. These subsoils appear better <br />than much of the topsoil in the area. <br />It appears that there is a mistake on Map # 22-B. Pond B, Plan View shows the <br />dewatering pipe at the south west comer of the pond. Map # 20 indicates the location for <br />the! dewatering pipe in the same for+tion as the Plan View. In Section B - B' it shows the <br />6 inch valved dewatering pipe passing below or near the emergency spillway. Please <br />india!te which of the locations is correct, and perform whatever corrections are necessary. <br />Toasoil: <br />The topsoil appeas to be of superior quality, and it would behoove the company to avoid <br />rehandling it as much as possible. Soil structure could be damaged by excessive handling, and <br />thereby have a direct baring on revegetation in the future. <br />S <br />General Mine Plan Compliance: <br />Construction debris from old structures needs to be evaluated and disposed of in and approved <br />offsite landfill. <br />
