III. COMMENTS -COMPLIANCE <br /> Below are comments on the inspection. The comments include discussion of observations made <br /> during the inspection. 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 overcast. <br /> Hydrologic Balance <br /> The single sediment pond located on the bench area at the former portal location was dry as <br /> was the pond at the coal loadout. A search for water wells at the coal loadout resulted in <br /> finding one 12 inch pipe standing about five feet tall near the base of the reclaimed slope on <br /> the south side of the loadout area. Whether this is a water well or something else is not clear <br /> at this time. The top of the casing is closed and consists of a welded steel cap, precluding <br /> access to the casing and any water level measurement. No other water wells could be <br /> located in or near the reclaimed area. <br /> Processing Waste <br /> The refuse pile at the portal area appeared normal with no sign of slumps, slides, or damage <br /> observed. <br /> Reve etation <br /> Vegetation consists mostly of rabbitbrush with an understory of grasses, forbs, and annual <br /> weeds. Vegetation at the portal area is very dry and somewhat subdued due to the <br /> prolonged dry spring and the south-facing aspect of this area. Vegetation at the coal loadout <br /> appeared better, likely due to the flatter areas and north and northwest-facing aspect. <br /> Overall, both areas appeared in fair condition for the late spring season. <br /> 3 <br />
