III. COMMENTS -COMPLIANCE Below are comments on the inspection. The comments include discussion of observations made during the inspection. Comments also describe any enforcement actions taken during the inspection and the facts or evidence supporting the enforcement action. This was a complete inspection conducted by Joe Dudash of Colorado DMG. Dave Berry also represented the Division. No one was present to represent the operator. The operator's consultant is preparing to hire a contractor to do additional work at the mine site, including substituting a new ditch-lining material in place of the geoweb at the office SAE. Also included in this report are the results of a topsoil depth survey of the yard area. Fifteen holes were dug. SIGNS AND MARRERB Both mine ID signs were up and contained the correct information. Surface disturbance markers need to be replaced since they are fading. The surface disturbance markers at the portal area, however, were quite visible. Stream buffer zone signs were up between the yard area and Trout Creek, but several of the signs need to be raised higher on their support posts. BEDIMENT POND There was no water in the sediment pond. Both spillways were functional. Pond inslopes and outslopes were erosionally stable. The embankment appeared to be stable. DITCHEB. CIILVERTB AND BERMS Ditch D-1 needs a little cleaning just above culvert C-1. For now, the ditch is still functional. Ditches D-2, D-4, D-6 and D-8 all had sufficient capacity, although D-8 could use some touching up just above the road Swale. The upper portion of the road Swale could use a little cleanup as well. The office SAE geoweb ditch needs repair. The operator is planning on replacing the ditch lining with a new type of lining. The outlet of culvert C-1 needs a little cleaning. The inlet of culvert C-4 also needs a little cleaning. Both culverts are still functional, however. The yard berm is functional. 1
