r <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 <br />inspection and the facts or evidence supporting the enforcement action. <br />This was an aerial inspection of the Trinidad Basin Mine for the month of February, 1998. The <br />permit was revoked and the bond is forfeit at this site. <br />HYDROLOGIC BALANCE: Most of the site is free of any snow, only the portions with north <br />facing slopes have any snow remaining. Every pond in the entire permit area had water in them. <br />No signs of discharge was visible from any of the ponds. Pond 15-P1 is almost completely filled <br />in with sediment and could not possibly function as designed. The main ditch leading to the <br />pond appears to be filled in with sediment as well. The remainder of the ponds appear to be in <br />satisfactory condition. <br />ROADS: The access road to the southern end of the mine does not seem to have suffered <br />much degredation during the winter, however, the riprapped portion of the road that has been <br />mentioned in numerous reports will probably not be passable at the end of this summer if any <br />significant storm falls on the area. <br />
