Comments also describe any enforcement actions taken during the <br />inspection and the facts or evidence supporting the enforcement action. <br />This was a partial inspection of the Seneca II Mine conducted by Erica Crosby of DMG. No <br />company representative was present during the inspection. The Seneca II Mine status is active. <br />Both the Wadge and Wolf Creek Pits are open and will be reclaimed in 1998. The inspection <br />involved viewing four aerial photographs taken by Harry Ranney of DMG on December 16, 1997. <br />Weather conditions on site appeared clear. Snow cover was predominate throughout the mine <br />site. <br />Roads Roads were under snow cover, and access appeared questionable to certain portions of <br />the mine. <br />Hydrologic Balance Sediment Pond 008 appeared to contain water, but was covered with <br />snow. Outlines of ditches could be depicted in the photos, but could not be assessed due to the <br />snow cover. No significant erosion features were noted on the four aerial photographs. <br />Backfilling & Gradino No current backfilling and grading activity was noted in either the Wadge <br />or Wolf Creek Pits. The lower end of the Wolf Creek Pit has been backfilled and topsoiled. <br />Both the Wadge and Wolf Creek Pits are open, and are scheduled to be reclaimed in 1998. <br />Backfilled areas appeared stable, and no erosion problems were noted. <br />
