M. COMMENTS-COMPLIANCE <br /> Below are comments on the inspection. The comments include discussion of observations made during the <br /> inspection. Comments also describe any enforcement actions taken during the inspection and the facts or <br /> evidence supporting the enforcement action. . <br /> This was an aerial inspection of the Hamilton Mine conducted by Harry Ranney of the DRMS. <br /> Aerial photographs were taken on January 31, 2008 at approximately 12:25 P.M. Weather <br /> conditions were overcast at the time of the flight. Mike Boulay of the DRMS reviewed the aerial <br /> photographs. <br /> Three photos were taken during the flyover. The entire Mine Area 1 a portion of Mine Area 3 <br /> and Sedimentation Ponds A and B were visible in the photographs. The mine site was entirely <br /> snow covered and there was no activity at the site during the flyover. No problems were noted in <br /> any of the aerial photographs. <br /> Roads leading to the mine site and to the sedimentation ponds were snow packed and the site <br /> appears to be inaccessible due to the snow packed road conditions. <br /> Sedimentation Ponds A and B were viewed. Neither pond was retaining any significant amount <br /> of water but both ponds were snow covered. Pond embankments appeared stable and no <br /> problems were noted at either of these sediment pond locations. <br /> Despite the heavy snow cover, some vegetation (sage brush) can be seen through the snow cover <br /> in the photos. The site does appear to be stable with no signs of erosion or other concerns <br /> identified. <br />
