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 />NON-BPECIAL FOCDS ITSAlB <br />There was a small gully forming across the light use road that led <br />to the Ute pond. The Division advised the operator to repair the <br />gully before it got any bigger.OSM personnel were a little <br />concerned that some of the ponds might not be completely accessible <br />for total pond sediment cleanout. For example, a small section of <br />the Deer pond apparently could not be reached for pond cleanout. If <br />this becomes a problem, Trapper may need to use different equipment <br />for sediment cleanout on these small ponds. <br />OSM personnel questioned the regulatory compliance of a "dozer <br />basin" that was immediately adjacent to the Johnson Gulch spring. <br />Division personnel questioned whether this was an appropriate topic <br />to discuss at this time, since the agreed upon focus for this <br />inspection was not related to "dozer basins." The "dozer basins" <br />utilized by Trapper do not represent an on-the-ground performance <br />problem. Rather, the "dozer basins" improve the sediment control <br />within disturbed areas of the mine. <br />However, the Division has requested that Trapper submit a technical <br />revision that would provide design information for these "dozer <br />basins." <br />C:\WP51\TRAPPER\JOINT996 <br />
