Comments also describe any enforcement actions taken during the inspection and the <br />facts or evidence supporting the enforcement action. <br />This was a complete inspection of the Carbon Junction Mine conducted by Tom Kaldenbach of DRMS. <br />No one else was present during the inspection. <br />The ground was mostly dry during the inspection, with a few patches of snow. A Phase I bond release <br />application (SL-03) covering much of the site is in review. A bond release inspection was held in <br />November 2006. <br />Availability of Records <br />With the exception of a certified annual pond report for the two sediment control ponds, all required <br />records were on file at the offtce of Goff Engineering (see attached list). To ensure compliance with Rule <br />4.05.9(14), aP.E.-certified pond report should be submitted to the Division and a copy placed in the files at <br />the office of Goff Engineering. <br />Signs and Markers <br />Permit boundary markers were properly displayed at the numerous locations inspected. Topsoil mazkers <br />were properly displayed on the only remaining stockpiles: 4, 7, and 8). Amine i.d. sign (including the <br />DRMS address and phone number) was properly displayed on the only public road entrance into the permit <br />azea. <br />Roads <br />The asphalt-surfaced main haul road was in good condition.

The road surface ofthe North Pit haul road was in good condition during <br />the inspection. Rock and dirt water bars, approximately three feet high, have been dozed into place at the <br />three locations on the North Pit Haul that were noted in the November 2006 inspection report as needing <br />drainage control. <br />Hydrolo2ic Balance <br />Pond 1 (large pond, outfall 001) -The pond was dry.
