• OSM INSPECTION
March 11 and 12, 1980
On March 11 and 12, 1980, Western Slope Carbon, Inc. (WSC), was
inspected by OSM's Ron Gregg at the Hawk's Nest East and West mines.
Accompanying Ron Gregg on the inspection were Dave Roberts and myself,
Al Amundson, both of WSC. The inspection started at the west end of the
property, at the unit train load-out silos, and progressed to the east.
We began the inspection of the property at approximately 3:00 p.m.,
examining the silo area, the trackage, the river front, Norris Pond,
coal stockpile and West Mine area. 4Je were cited with two violations
• in this area. They were:
1) Failure to clean up trash around the silo area
2) Failure to control un-disturbed run-off from above
the West mine
The trash at the silos consisted of old track material and material
left from the track construction. This was the responsibility of Railroad
builders Company and should have been covered under their clean-up of the
work area upon completion of the work. This material was piled between
the track grade and Highway 133 in a neat and orderly fashion, preparatory
to being picked up. As Railroad Builders left the property sometime in,
the period of September or October, it is assumed that responsibility of
picking up this material was in dispute between Railroad Builders and
WSC, each one thinking that the other would take care of the trash.
The violation regarding un-disturbed drainage not being properly
diverted around the West mine stems from a many-faceted problem. The
situation is that there is a relatively large drainage emptying onto the
