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 inspection <br />and the facts or evidence supporting the enforcement action. <br />Offsite Support Facilities <br />The reclaimed Loma Loadout site was inspected the afternoon of May 17, with no operator contact present. The <br />following observations were made: <br />• The Mine I.D. sign has not yet been revised to reflect the recent permittee name change. The sign <br />needs to be properly revised or replaced. <br />• There are three old tires near the mine I.D. sign that need to be properly disposed of. <br />The revegetated stand is promising. Western wheatgrass establishment is fair to good across most of <br />the site, vigorous and robust in some areas, short and less vigorous in other areas. There are patches <br />of forage kochia in some areas and scattered greasewood across the site. Annual weedy species are <br />still prevalent, but less dense and vigorous than last year. The tumble mustard, which was very <br />prominent last year, is present but at low density this year. The site is quite dry; precipitation has been <br />below normal in April and May. Continued dry conditions could be detrimental to the recently <br />established seeded species. <br />4 <br />
