[II. Comments - Compliance <br />Below are comments on the inspection. The comments include discussion of <br />observations made during tfre inspection. Comments also describe any <br />enforcement actions taken during the inspection and the facts or evidence <br />supporting the enforcement action. <br />Fish and Wildlife observations included Elk, Red Tailed Hawk, Goshawk, <br />Killdeer, and numerous song birds. Mining activities did not appear to <br />interfere with fish and wildlife habitat. <br />Reveeetation of mining areas, pond embankments, and topsoil stockpiles <br />was ample to control erosion. Quantitative samples and measurements <br />were not taken. <br />Air Resource Protection - Waste oil is used for dust suppression at <br />coal loading facilities, and roads are watered as necessary. No <br />apparent air emissions problems were observed. <br />Slides and Damaee - The South of Shop slide area appeared stable. <br />Reclaimed lands in the West Ridge and Moffat pit areas also appeared <br />stable. Slumps were apparent on two of the Goat Trail embankments, one <br />at the A transfer switchback, the other at the fourth switchback up <br />from the tipple area. The operator should repair these areas and <br />inspect the road regularly for future stability problems. <br />Edna Strip Mine 5 3/30/93 - 4/2/93 <br />
