s 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. A complete inspection of the Terror Creek Loadout was completed by Christine Johnston of the Division. Please note this complete inspection was performed for first quarter 1995. Kelly Fritzler of TCC did not accompany me during my site inspection but was available to discuss upcoming permitting and maintenance items. The weather during the inspection was clear and warm. Availability of Records Records for the loadout were reviewed at the mine office. Please see the enclosed records checklist for comments on the records reviewed. HvdroloQic Balance Mr. Fritzler informed me that he is planning to hire Beaver's Construction to clean out all ditches and culverts in the next few weeks as part of spring maintenance. Mr. Fritzler informed me that the area received a fairly significant amount of moisture the previous week and with the warming temperatures, runoff was high. There was no evidence of failure of any portion of the sediment control system. The first quarter pond inspection report noted that the water level in the sediment pond was at the invert of the primary spillway. At the time of the inspection the water level was approximately one foot below the primary spillway. The pond did not discharge. The dugout pond was dry. All silt fences located in the SAE was inspected. The first quarter pond inspection report noted that some of the silt fences required repair. All silt fences were in good condition at the time of the inspection. The concrete sump located at the belt on the southwest side of the facilities requires maintenance. There was no water in the sump, so sediment should be easily cleaned out. Support Facilities Mr. Fritzler informed me that TCC was submitting a revision to expand the shop building approximately 40 feet. To expand the shop, the water line to fill the water trucks will need to be rerouted and some of the hillside adjacent to the building will need to be salvaged. In addition, TCC is planning to seal the ground water well currently in use for office water, due to the poor quality of the water. They are planning to drill a well in an old orchard next to the topsoil pile on the west side of the permit area. TCC is currently working with the Division of Water Resources and will provide us with a revision once water Resources has approved the relocation. TCC has begun to accumulate sediment clean-out. Care should be taken to ensure that this material is not pushed into the sediment pond. One of the barrels on the
