<br />Discharges: DMG sampled the discharge from pond #2 and will <br />followup with enforcement action if the analysis of the sample <br />collected indicates an excedance.of the effluent limits. <br />Pond #3 was discharging black water during the inspection. <br />This discharge was flowing into the Purgatory River. DMG <br />issued a Cessation Order (CO> as a result of the discharge <br />which required cessation of all mine water off the site. The <br />company was given until S:OOPM the day the CO was issued to <br />abate the violation. The abatement time was not met since the <br />pond continued to discharge until the company was able to pump <br />the water into *_anker trucks and transport it to pond #4. The <br />water entering the pond was stopped shortly after issuance of <br />the CO. <br />Y.AJL / ACCESS R.O_~DS <br />Maintenance: Some roads on the mine needed maintenance, one <br />in particular was the road to access the water tank. This <br />road had ruts on a steer pitch which would allow water to be <br />channeled and cause more erosion. Road ditches and culverts <br />will be discussed below. <br />Ditches and r_u]verts: The road ditches identified in the <br />designs did not exist at the mine. There were ditches on the <br />access road from the guard station to the mine office. <br />Several culverts were not maintained to function as intended. <br />These were culverts 9, 5, 7 and the third culvert up from the <br />bottom of the north intake access road. <br />There were also several culverts which were not designed or <br />approved. These were as follows; <br />i. c4" culvert on the access road the SAE #7. <br />2. 36" culvert on the access road to SAE #5 and #6. <br />3. 30" culvert on the access road to SAE #5 and #6. <br />4. c4" culvert west of the tipple and the truck load <br />out. <br />5. 2 culverts on the access road to the north intake. <br />6. 18" pipe in the clean water diversion at the north <br />fan. <br />DMG has issued a NOV addressing the above noncompliances. <br />TOPSOIL <br />10 <br />
