i..^_ <br />III. COMMENTS -COMPLIANCE <br />Below are comments on the inspection. The comments include discussion of observations made <br />during the inspection. Comments also describe any enforcement actions taken during the <br />inspection and the facts or evidence supporting the enforcement action. <br />On May 12, 1997, William J. Carter and Joe Dudash from the Division of Minerals and Geology <br />performed a partial inspection of the Ohio Creek # 2 Mine in Gunnison County. This is a revoked <br />mine and therefore no company representative was present. <br />Roads• <br />The County road going to the mine site was in good and stable condition. <br />Hydrologic Balance: <br />• All drainage from the disturbed area appears to be directed to the sediment pond. <br />• The pond was dry at the time of the inspection. <br />• During the inspection, the primary drain and collection ditch were cleaned to assure <br />continued functioning. <br />• There appears to be some seepage from the old portal area at this time. <br />Backtill and Grading: <br />• ;.ills have formed on the site due to drainage being concentrated into the center. <br />• Most of the damage to drainage ditches, crossing the slope, was corrected during the <br />inspection. <br />IFista a_nd Wildlife: <br />~~ ~ The need for clearing the primary drain on the sediment pond was due to a rodent digging <br />into the containment sttvcture and the spoil covering the drain. <br />• Some type of rodent control may be required, in the future, if the structural integrity <br />continues to be compromised. <br />]Reo~egetation• <br />Vegetation is starting to germinate at the site. <br />afforded as [he season progresses. <br />A better determination of its success will be <br />Slides and Damage: <br />As noted above there is some minor erosion damage on the face of the slope below the previous <br />portal uea. <br />
