Jq <br /> 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 /> General Comments <br /> This was an aerial inspection of the Seneca II-W Mine. The site was flown on the morning of 3/11/09, and Harry <br /> Ranney of the Division took 13 oblique and near vertical digital image photos. The images were viewed by Dan <br /> Mathews of the Division on 3/12/09. The images covered most portions of the mine disturbed areas. Solid snow <br /> cover throughout the mine site and adjacent areas precluded detailed observations. The mine entrance road to <br /> the shop area had been recently maintained, but other roads in the permit area were snowed over. Sediment <br /> ponds were iced over and snow covered. No problems were evident, and there was no evidence of recent <br /> activity with the exception of the shop area and mine entrance road. <br /> The mine has been largely reclaimed, with the exception of the shop area and entrance road. <br /> Remediation of small slide areas expressed last year in the lower Pond 016 watershed is to be undertaken in <br /> 2009. Geotechnical investigations were initiated in 2008. These areas were under snow cover and current <br /> ground conditions were not observable. <br /> 3 <br />
