III. COMMENTS - COMPLIANCE
Below are comments on the inspection. The comments include discussion of observations made during the
inspection. Comments also describe any enforcement actions taken during the inspection and the facts or
evidence supporting the enforcement action.
Ponds throughout the mine site are frozen and not discharging. Repairs to Pond D embankment and riser
have been completed. TCC will need to submit to the Division an as-built certification for Pond D to
document the repairs were conducted in accordance with the approved design or provide a letter to the
Division documenting the repairs conducted and certified by the engineer.
Fish Creek Bore Hole ponds were not discharging to Fish Creek at Site 115. Due to the waterline repair,
FCVS pump is down. FCBH was not pumping to the barricade chamber. Pit 1 has plenty of available water
storage prior to discharging to Pond D.
The Million Gallon tank at the PM Bay was spilling over and had ice build up on the side at the time of the
inspection.
Processing Waste: Technical Revision No. 67, RDA expansion decision is final. As mentioned in the roads
section TCC has begun to strip topsoil and construct a temporary access road to construct the topsoil
stockpile. TCC continues to haul refuse to the existing CRDA.
Support Facilities: TCC continues to work on the removal of the hydraulic oil contaminated material at
6MN facilities area and at 18RT. TCC has removed additional structures at 18RT and sealed the escape
shaft. TCC has sealed but not yet placed the cap on the shaft. Please provide an abandonment report to the
Division documenting the sealing methods, and compliance with the approved sealing plan and regulations,
upon completion of sealing this shaft. TCC used cuttings from the cuttings pit to place back in the shaft.
Grading, backfill, and reclamation of the 18RT pad area are projected for 2010.
18LT Ventilation shaft pad area construction is mostly completed. Contractors were working on
construction of the MCC foundation at the time of the inspection. One of the large transformers, Lieske
#10, has been removed from the Lieske substation and relocated to the 18LT substation.
Dismantling of fans and housing at the EMD ventilation site continues. This fan will be reassembled at the
WMD ventilation site. TCC has sealed but not yet placed the cap on the shaft. Please provide an
abandonment report to the Division documenting the sealing methods, and compliance with the approved
sealing plan and regulations, upon completion of sealing this shaft.
Revegetation: TCC had hydroseeded the topsoil stockpile at 18LT prior to the snowfall. Transplantation of
trees at 18LT was not completed prior to the winter temperatures settling in.
Subsidence: As the Longwall move into the WMD progresses, TCC is reminded that subsidence monitoring
needs to be implemented prior to approach to Routt County Road No. 27.
