Inspection Manual - By December 15, 1993, Basin will have developed an inspection manual which will provide a listing of the compliance items for field inspection (culvert sizes, ditch sizes, sign and marker requirements, etc). This manual will be used by the engineering staff to insure that all items are in compliance at the time of inspection. The manual will contain forms and checklists to be used to document compliance. Inspection Schedu).e - Basin is currently conducting regular compliance inspections and will begin the formalized program on January 1, 1994. This will include utilization of the inspection manual described above and at the schedule presented in the plan for various items of compliance. At least monthly inspections will be conducted of all compliance items and others will be inspected weekly or following storm events. Maintenance Items - During inspections, all maintenance items will.be listed on work order forms. These work orders will be submitted to the Maintenance Department by the inspector with a schedule and scope of activities to be completed. Inspection Follow-Up - An important aspect of compliance is the follow-up activities which will ensure that all of the necessary items have been completed. It is the responsibility of the inspector to check the items provided to the Maintenance Department to insure the items have been completed with the specified design criteria. If items have not been completed, appropriate actions will be taken to insure maintenance is completed. Third Party Compliance Audits - Basin is in the process of contracting with an outside third party to provide auditing on a regular basis to ensure compliance. These audits will include examination of records to insure that ir~specticns are being conducted on the specified schedule and that all items are in compliance with the approved plan. A close out meeting will be held at the completion of each audit to discuss compliance and any issues which will need further attention. Documentation of these audits will be kept in the inspection file. 6. COMPLIANCE COMMITMENT Basin has been committed to environmental and regulatory compliance since the acquisition of the mine from Wyoming Fuel Company in May 1991. This commitment is evidenced by the compliance history discussed above, even though the mine has gone through some periods where no coal was produced.
