This was a complete inspection conducted by David Berry and Mike Boulay both of the DMG. Christine Johnston, Henry Barbe, and Norm Avery of Mountain Coal Company (MCC) accompanied the DMG during all or part of the inspection. The inspection was completed over the course of two days. The weather was dry and hot on both days. Day One Inspection (6/12/96): HVdrOlOg1C Bd1aRCe Maintain the culvert and continue to maintain adequate sediment control and drainage at the Material Storage Bench where the access road enters the bench on the west side to ensure continued compliance. Clean out and maintain the ditches and culverts at the Portal Bench above the Portal Bench storage area to ensure continued compliance. Devise a barrier where underground mine water discharges to surface at the upper bench below the conveyor belt. Devise a strategy to keep the discharge water in the ditch and not onto the bench material. Maintain straw bales or other measures above the inlet of culvert that receives water from the MB-1 spillway to ensure continued compliance. Emergency spillway for MB-1 and FW-1 has some coaly material on the upper edge of the spillway. MCC has agreed to clean this out by installing a cut-off trench with a silt fence installed behind the trench as a catchment. A water truck will be used to wash the coal material out of the spillway where it will be collected and removed. Please continue to take measures to keep coal material out of ditch that drains north from the Crusher Facility. It was noted that mine inflow water was being discharged to FW-1. The water was running fairly clear. Please cleanout the culvert under the roadway located south of bays 5 & 6 of the "Underground Shop". Please repair the minor damage to the culvert at the entrance to Sylvester Gulch Access Road.
