HL 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 /> Processing Waste <br /> The temporary coal waste pile area located above the sediment was inspected. The clean water <br /> diversion ditch around the waste pile and sediment storage area was stable (see comment below <br /> regarding overgrowth of annual weeds). The berm around the waste pile was properly maintained. <br /> Support Facilities <br /> The shop and facilities areas were muddy but well kept. Perimeter areas at these locations were <br /> maintained, and no problems were noted at the shop or facilities area during this inspection. <br /> Revegetation <br /> Growth of annual weeds (Kochia and Russian thistle)may need to be treated next year in the area <br /> around the waste pile and particularly in the clean water diversion ditch around the waste pile. As seen <br /> in the attached photograph, the weeds have nearly overtaken the diversion ditch. The annual weeds <br /> may need to be chopped down or treated to evaluate the growth of the perennial cover crop that was <br /> planted last spring when construction of the ditch was completed. In addition the area may need to be <br /> reseeded. We will evaluate the annual weeds next spring to determine if further action is warranted. <br /> } <br /> Kochia and Russian thistle growing in and around the diversion ditch at the waste pile. <br />
