~: y MINE SITE EVALUATION INSPECTION REPORT PAGE 7 Fruita 1 & 2 SIGNS AND MARKERS Perimeter markers are not in place yet because MLRD did not require them under the interim program. The interim regulations require perimeter markers. This matter will be addressed in the State Evaluation. TOPSOIL There are three topsoil stockpiles on site. The A&B horizon stockpiles are well vegetated. The third topsoil stockpile has very little vegeta- tion. It would be a good idea to construct a berm around this pile until vegetation becomes better established. HYDROLOGY Two sediment ponds are located on site: The west or main sediment pond and the east or secondary sediment pond. Both ponds appeared to be adequate. Some maintenance work is needed on berms and ditches. • WATER QUALITY Water monitoring records through 9/30/82 were sent by Dean Massey due to the fact that they could not be located at the mine office. No dis- charyes were reported. The baseline monitoring plan will consist of nine wells for ground water monitoring. A spring and seep inventory of the Coal Gulch drainage has been conducted and an additional survey of other drainages in and ad- joining the five year lease area will be conducted. Since surface drai- nages are intermittent, regular sampling of surface flow will not be po- ssible. Samples will be collected during flow events at Coal Gulch and Big Salt Wash. DISPOSAL OF COAL PROCESSING WASTE An area has been permitted for storage of coal refuse. The area is lo- cated across the road from the R.O.M. storage on the lower bench. ROADS An exploration road has recently been constructed without an exploration permit. (See State Enforcement Actions.) STATE ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS Jim Herron of MLRD issued NOV 82-59 on 11/25/82 for failure to operate in accordance with the approved MRP. Remedial measures call for regrading and seeding the road by December 13, 1982..
