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. This was a partial inspection of the Southfield Mine conducted by Sandy Brown from DMG. The ground was dry and the sky was clear. No one was at the mine site. The gate was locked so I walked to the facilities area. All remaining petroleum contaminated soil (pcs) has been removed. The area that was under investigation for the pcs has been graded to blend in with the surrounding terrain. In a follow-up call to George Patterson on April 16, Mr. Patterson said he would be providing DMG with a final report of the pcs testing, excavating and disposal methods. EFCI has submitted a minor revision (MR- 48) requesting that the coal lab building be relocated to an area just north of the truck tunnel. The building will be considered a utility building to store maintenance supplies for the remaining equipment and to store necessary water monitoring supplies. Several barrels and other materials were stored outside the building in its current location. In our phone conversation, Mr. Patterson said some of the barrels were empty and would be disposed of properly along with other materials that are no longer needed. He said some barrels of grease and oil, and other necessary maintenance materials will be relocated and properly stored in the new location. A small pile of topsoil remains adjacent to the parking area for the utility building in its current location. If the landowners (Ventos) request that the parking area be reclaimed, EFCf will use the topsoil to cover the parking area. There was very little water in Pond 5. The trash rack is installed. Little or no erosion was observed on the regarded/topsoiled areas. The site is in good condition.
