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 />This was a complete inspection of the Hamilton Mine for the month of July, 1996. <br />Records were inspected and found to be satisfactory. Amore detailed account of the records <br />review can be found on page 5 of this report. <br />A very large thunderstorm event occurred a week prior to this inspection and as a result of this <br />storm, the surface of the road at the southeast corner of the disturbed area eroded and will <br />require maintenance to restore it to an approved condition. <br />Pond A had a trace amount of water left in it from the storm but was not discharging. Pond B <br />had about 5 feet of water in it but it too was not discharging. Both ponds were stable. The <br />drainage ditch leading to pond B down the access road has filled with sediment and will require <br />maintenance to restore it to designed specified conditions. <br />The site was drill seeded last fall with the approved seed mix and poly-acrilimides but due to the <br />drought like conditions that have prevailed this season, very little grass growth is evident. The <br />major vegetative cover is Russian Thistle, however, this is still providing good cover for erosion. <br />
