This was a complete inspection of the Hamilton Mine conducted on February 29, 2008 by Mike
Boulay and Marcia Talvitie of the DRMS. Dave Andrews, Honeywood Coal Company's
contractor brought the records to the mine site from his home in Norwood and left them available
for inspection at the Broad Canyon Landfill office located near the mine site. Dave Andrews was
not present for the inspection and there was no other representative from Honeywood Coal
Company present during the inspection. Weather conditions were sunny and cool. Ground
conditions were wet and muddy. There was no activity at the mine site during the inspection.
Availability of Rrecords
As noted in the previous complete inspection, a copy of the current Mining Permit legal
document (issued with Permit Renewal No. 3) was not included with the records maintained by
Dave Andrews. This has been rectified and a copy of the Mining Permit is now available and
kept with the mine site records.
All required records were available for review. Please see the attached records checklist at the
end of this inspection report.
Signs And Markers
The mine identification sign was properly displayed at the mine site entrance along the county
road that provides access to the site.
Roads
The county road. past the turnoff for the landfill office was very muddy beneath the surface of the
road. An attempt was made to access the mine site but it was determined to be unsafe to drive
very far beyond the mine identification sign. Due to very muddy road conditions the mine site
was inaccessiblf;. To avoid damaging the road and possibly getting stuck the decision was made
not to drive all the way into the mine area. A small portion of the reclaimed Mining Area No. 1
was visible from the county road. The site appeared stable with no signs of erosion and no
problems were noted with this inspection.
