<br />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 partial inspection of the Chimney Rock Coal Mine for the month of December, 1995. <br />The site was covered with a light film of snow on the north facing slopes. All other areas were <br />bare. <br />The only places on the site where any significant weed patches occur was in the sediment <br />basins and on the edge of some roads. These areas were inhabited by musk thistle and will <br />need to be sprayed with herbicide or otherwise controlled during the coming year. <br />An approximate .5 acre area on the southwest facing slope, above the Stolsteimer Creek repair <br />area, has been recently reseeded and mulched. <br />All ditches appear to be in working condition and all slopes and contour furrows appear to be <br />stable at the time of the inspection. <br />Deer tracks indicate a moderate use of the site for feeding. A golden eagle and a redtail hawk <br />were noted circling above the site, <br />Numerous young wood's rose, big sagebrush and rubber rabbitbrush were noted as new <br />additions to the revegetation becoming established on the backfilled slopes. <br />
