III. COMMENTS -COMPLIANCE <br />Elk Creek C-1981-022 <br />Pg 1/2 27 July 2006 ~lj~ <br />Below are comments on the inspection. The comments include discussion of observations <br />made during the inspection. Comments also describe any enforcement actions taken during <br />the inspection and the facts or evidence supporting the enforcement action. <br />This was a partial inspection of the Elk Creek and Sanborn Creek Mines conducted by Jim <br />Stark of CDMG. The inspection was conducted on 22 June 2006. Tom Anderson of Oxbow <br />accompanied me on the inspection. The mine was actively producing coal at the time of the <br />inspection and the coal stockpile was full. The weather was warm and sunny and the ground <br />was dry. <br />On 20 July 2006 the Division approved Minor Revision 81, which approved the construction <br />of a warehouse expansion and concrete pad and Minor Revision 82, which approved the <br />realignment of a light-use road to several gob vent boreholes (approved in Technical <br />Revision 54) on USFS lands. <br />Roads: -The mine access road is a paved road. The road is well maintained and in good <br />condition. <br />-The east yard haul road was stable and well maintained at the time of the inspection. <br />There were no rutting or erosional problems noted on the road. <br />- The road to the Elk Creek portals and facilities area was stable and well maintained at the <br />time of the inspection. No erosional problems were noted on the road. The operator was <br />watering the road at the time of the inspection. <br />-The haul road to the West Valley Fill was stable and well maintained at the time of the <br />inspection. No erosional problems were noted on the road. <br />- The back entrance to the mine from Highway 133 was stable at the time of the inspection. <br />This road is primarily used to access the Sanborn Creek gob vent boreholes and the mine <br />when a train is blocking the main entrance. <br />Hydrologic Balance: - Pond B contained water approximately five feet below the emergency <br />spillway at the time of the inspection but was not discharging (discharge is through a gated <br />valve below the water level). The embankment was well vegetated and appeared to be <br />stable. No erosional problems were noted on the pond embankment. The emergency <br />spillway was stable at the time of the inspection. <br />- Pond D contained water approximately one foot below the discharge pipe and was not <br />discharging at the time of the inspection. The embankment was well vegetated and stable. <br />No erosional problems were noted on the pond embankment. The pond has an oil boom <br />and it was in place. The trash rack and anti-vortex device was in placed on the primary <br />discharge pipe. There is some sediment at the inlet of the pond but it does not appear to be <br />a problem at this time. <br />-The East Yard pond was dry at the time of the inspection. The pond embankment was well <br />vegetated and stable and no erosional problems were noted. <br />Pond C was dry at the time of the inspection. The pond embankment is a concrete dam. <br />The concrete dam was stable at the time of the inspection. <br />-The ditches along the haul road to the Elk Creek facilities area were all clear and appeared <br />to be stable and functioning as designed. No erosional problems were noted. <br />
