General Ccaner. is <br />This was a partial inspection of all the surface facilities at the mine. <br />There has been a consideraUle slow do•~an in coal sales and production and staff at <br />the mine have been cut back. The mine is open only during the da>' now. <br />The coal stockpile on the bench covers almost the entire bench. The lower coal <br />stockpile is also as large as it can be. Some refuse material is also stockpiled on the <br />bench. <br />Sloughing of rock and soil has occurred in ntunerous places. the diversion ditch <br />above the bench has been filled in in several places, slides have narrowed the mi.nr road <br />and totally block the road leading up to the old fan. <br />Trash has been piled at the southwest corner o£ the bench• as iC has in the past. A <br />more appropriate method of trash storage on the bench should be investigated and implemen- <br />ted to prevent wind and traffic from taking the trash a+.~ay and dcpo::iting it about the <br />site. <br />
