REVIEW OF PAST INSPECTION REPORT ITEMS MONOGRAM - JO DANDY PERMIT M-1977-293 MARCH 2003 This Report provides a review of past Inspection Reports received from the Division under Permit M-1977-293. The intent of this review is to document that all past inquiries have been addressed by the Operator. June 4, 2001 Inspection by Bob Oswald: Corrective Action for failure to provide undated site information: The Operator had not provided updated site status and condition reports for many years. Response: The accompanying information submitted herewith addresses this outstanding issue. Reports submitted in the past two years by the Operator have partially addressed this issue, but uncertainty remained as there was not a consensus on which sites were included under the Permit, which sites had been affected after Permit issuance, and which sites are the responsibility of the Operator. All of these issues have now been resolved. Corrective Action for lack of identification signs and boundary markers: No Permit identification signs were present and boundaries of affected areas are not marked. Response: The Operator placed Permit identification signs in November 2001. This response action was complicated by the number of sites and their scattered locations. A general Permit identification sign was located at the Blackburn Mine and, in October 2002, an individual mine identification sign was located at the Anna May mine. All sites which have been confirmed to be covered under Permit M-1977-293, and which are bonded for final reclamation by the Operator, are in final reclamation. The Operator understands that boundary markers are not required for sites under final reclamation. November 27, 2001 Inspection by Steve Shuey: Corrective Action continuation for identification sins and markers: A follow up verification inspection was conducted to determine compliance with outstanding Corrective Actions items. Partial compliance by the Operator was noted by the Division, but resolution of the outstanding Corrective Actions was deferred until a joint site inspection could be performed with the Operator during fair weather conditions. Response: The proposed joint inspection was held in July 2002. The Division and the Operator followed this inspection by carefully examining existing file records and determined which sites have been affected under the Permit and require follow up reclamation by the Operator. See Response for above Corrective Actions under the June 4, 2001 inspection. 1
