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 inspection <br />and the facts or evidence supporting the enforcement action. <br />This inspection was conducted in two segments. First, a Special Foctts oversight inspection was <br />conducted by Mitch Rollins of the Office of Surface Ivlining. The subject of the oversight inspection <br />was to determine if Bowie Resources kept the surface disturbance within the approved limits. <br />Representing [he operator for this first segment was Basil Bear. Representing the Division were Joe <br />Dudash and Jim Stark. The purpose of the second segment of the inspection was to conduct a complete <br />inspection of the Bowie No. 1 Mine. Basil bear represented the operator during the records check. A <br />representative from OSM was not present. Representing the Division were Joe Dudash and Jim Stark. <br />Surface Dishubance <br />A field inspection of the extent of the surface disturbances at the mine site was made and compared <br />with the disturbed areas as delineated on various permit application maps. The mine site areas that <br />were inspected were the east mine, the west mine, the west mine vent fan and water tank area, the run- <br />of-mine area, the train loadout, the highway coal stockpile azea, the water well field and pump house, <br />the water line from the well field to the east mine water tank and the water line from the well field to <br />the west mine water tank . <br />The boundaries of disturbed land and undisturbed land, as shown on the maps and marked in the field <br />with surface disturbance markers, were either walked or viewed, to insure that no disturbances had <br />occurred outside the azeas approved for disturbance. In the case of the train loadout, the permit <br />boundary had been marked, not the surface disturbance since it was strictly a loadout facility apart <br />from the mine site. <br />The conclusion was that all of the surface disturbances in the field had been accounted for in the permit <br />application maps and appropriately marked in the field. <br />Roads <br />There were rocks on the road leading from the water tank bench to the upper level.at the main mine <br />site. The road was walked. The other roads around the mine site were in good shape and passable. <br />Hydroloey <br />A[ the crusher/screener bench, straw bales should be placed at the outlet of the diversion ditch that runs <br />along the base of the back cliff. That way no coal fines can get into undisturbed areas. On the same <br />bench, two straw bales need [o be repositioned at the drop inlet. Ditch cleanings from the ditch behind <br />
