<br />Page 1 <br />June ~~, 1976 <br />Sunland Mining Carp <br />F•.0. 8.=.. _~ <br />Ape,; #~ mine <br />Gary Fritz OSM #~44 <br />General Comments <br />This was a ~=omplete :oversight inspe~=tion. The Mined Land F:e~=lamation <br />Division was notified ab~~ut my s~=hedule f~~r this inspe~=tion but were <br />not able to ,join me due to ether .=commitments. <br />The mine company pasted an inactive letter with tf-~e MLF:ll as cif <br />January '~8, 198E. There was n~_ ~~ne at the site representing the <br />cr_~mpany during this ir~spectic~n. Mine records were not reviewed. <br />Ac.=ess to the underground operation has been restri~=ted, to prevent <br />unauthorized entry. The e1ShaLlst fans were not running. The fan on the <br />mine bench will have t.. be clc--tired of s~~il and debris before it ~=an <br />be used but the fan c.n the ber~cl-~ behind the mine offi~=e is operable. <br />The coal handling yard ar~d tipple area is across F:~~utt County F:~_ad <br />~'3 from the mine beach. When the rtiirie was operating, mime run ~.=oa1 <br />was transp~~rted across tF-ie county road ~~n an overhead conveyor and <br />dropped into a stac4;er. From there it was moved by a front er~d leader <br />to a feed hopper far the screening plant, there it was sued and <br />sorted fc~r separate storage in 1~~U ton overhead bins. The shop, <br />bathhouse, truck s~=ales and electric substation are also l~~cated in <br />the same yard. In addition, fuel is also stored there. <br />The yard was graded t.. drain int.. the e,:cavated sediment pr~nd or <br />ditches leading to it in the southeastern end ~~f yard. These dit~=hes <br />were construe=ted parallel to the berm around the area that is between <br />Trout CreeFi and the ~=aa1 yard. They Gegin at the outlet ends of the <br />culverts under the county road can b~~th ends of the yard that drains <br />the other portion of the mine located on the other side. The <br />sediment pond has a concrete emergency spillway with a four inch pipe <br />through the embankment for dewatering. The spillways and ditches <br />into the pond are open and functioning. Cattails and sawgrass are <br />growing in the impoundment but there was no standing water. The berm <br />between the :reek and the yard is inta~=t. The culverts under the road <br />
