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.
The site,mainly northerly of Dutch Creek,was evaluated in terms of identifying issues pertaining to
geomorphic stability of reclaimed land forms.
The reclaimed road network is generally stable,and conveys water from the cut to fill slope without
causing erosion problems. Vegetative success on the reclaimed roads is very good.
Some amount of stream cutting and re-alignment is apparent where Coal Creek crosses Road G,about one
mile before its terminus at Mine 5. Due to the dynamic nature of this stream system,it has been agreed
upon with the White River National Forest that no attempts to stabilize the Road G fill would be
undertaken.
A portion of Road B,just below the intersection with Roads C and D continues to be impacted by a
landslide body which is encroaching on the road corridor. Hikers,cyclists and horse enthusiasts have
created a trail that traverses the material,so no limitation in access to the upper reaches of the Basin has
occurred.
Construction within the Private property located between the confluence of Coal and Dutch Creeks,
westerly toward the Lamp House continues. These activities have significantly modified the reclaimed
facilities located within this parcel. Road A drainage patterns,as it traverses the Private Property,have
not been substantially modified since the mining operation was last active.
