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 />Processing Waste <br />Waste material that had been dumped in the disposal cell last month had recently been spread and graded <br />relatively level within the cell. Some tumbleweed accumulations were again noted in various ditch locations in <br />the vicinity of the refuse disposal. The ditches need to be maintained free of tumbleweeds to <br />prevent blockage of ditches or culverts, and the task may need to be repeated <br />following any aeriods of high winds. <br />The waste area sediment pond contained a shallow pool of water, 12" or more below the level of the <br />gated primary spillway pipe inlet. <br />Offsite Support Facilities <br />The reclaimed Loma Loadout site was inspected following the mine site inspection, with no operator contact <br />present. The following observations were made: <br />• The sign with DRMS address and phone number has become detached from the <br />stake and needs to be re-secured. <br />• The SAE silt fence sediment trap is worn and the silt fence needs to be <br />replaced. <br />4 <br />
