Comments also describe any enforcement actions taken during the inspection <br /> and the facts or evidence supporting the enforcement action. <br /> This was a complete inspection conducted by Kent Gorham of the Colorado Division of <br /> Minerals and Geology (CDMG). This mine site consists of two, separate reclaimed areas; a <br /> coal loadout/tipple area and a portal/refuse pile area, separated geographically by a rocky <br /> ridgeline. Ground conditions on this day were dry and the weather was mild. <br /> Hydrologic Balance <br /> The lone sediment pond located on the bench area at the former portal location was dry. <br /> Revegetation <br /> Vegetation consists mostly of rabbitbrush with an understory of grasses, forbs, and annual <br /> weeds. The growing season is basically over for this year and grasses have dried down due <br /> to frost. (Portal bench area shown below) <br /> tgx:4a': @ <br /> I <br /> Mil <br /> Offsite Support Facilities <br /> The coal loadout/sales yard is geographically removed from the portal area. A single pond at <br /> this site was found dry and the revegetated area appeared normal with nothing unusual <br /> observed. <br /> Overall, the area appeared in fair condition for the late fall season. <br /> 3 <br />
