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 />This was a complete inspection conducted by Tom Kaldenbach of CDMG. Rick Mills represented the operator. <br />The mine has been in temporary cessation for several years. A small maintenance crew was onsite. The <br />ground was dry. The weather was warm and dry. <br />RECORDS AVAILABILITY: The records checklist is attached. <br />SIGNS AND MARKERS: Mine i.d. signs, stream buffer signs, and topsoil markers were properly displayed. <br />The operator has recently replaced disturbance area boundary markers. The operator also has recently <br />added CDMG's phone number to the i.d. signs in accordance with the requirements for a mine in temporary <br />cessation. <br />ROADS: In excellent shape. <br />HYDROLOGIC BALANCE: The #5 mine dewatering well (7 Angle N) was discharging a few hundred gpm of <br />clear water to ponds 9P2 and 9P3 (NPDES ouffall 024). <br />Ponds -The embankments and inslopes of all ponds were well-vegetated and appeared stable. Spillways <br />appeared to be in good condition. <br />Pond 9-P1 was inspected and photographed for DMG's ongoing review of RN-03. Item 44 of DMG's letter of <br />June 9, 1998 requested the operator to submit an as-built certification, but did not recognize the pond does not <br />have an embankment (it is excavated) and the pond is no longer used. The operator's representative explained <br />that 9-Pi is the second pond in a series of four ponds that were constructed to receive more than 400 gpm that <br />was fairly constantly pumped from the #9 Mine. The mine is no longer pumped because it has been <br />permanently sealed. 9-P1 was a stilling basin that collected coal fines from the pumped water. The pumped <br />water contained fines due to the small size of the sump in the mine. Now the only surface runoff into the four <br />ponds comes from the approximate 5-acre waste pile located in the former portal area of the mine. The <br />operator is leaving pond 9-P1 unreclaimed for now so that, if necessary, it can be used as a coal refuse <br />disposal site when the #5 Mine is reactivated. <br />Culverts - No problems were found. Erosion at inlets or outlets was not evident. <br />Ditches -All appeared to be maintained to design specs. <br />Monitoring wells - No problems were found with monitoring wells. <br />Page 3 of 9 <br />
