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.
All GVB sites that were inspected were stable with very little erosion or other concerns
identified. At a few locations the straw wattles are showing some signs of deterioration.
OMLLC will continue to monitor all GVB sites and maintain erosion control structures as
needed.
Processing_Waste
The II-West refuse pile was inspected. Adequate cover material is placed on the out slopes of
the pile and roughened. The coal waste pile was stable with no signs of erosion.
Air Resource Protection
Adequate dust suppression is maintained throughout the site. A water truck was watering roads
for dust suppression at the II-West Refuse Pile and along the Elk Creek access road during the
inspection.
Reclamation Success
Based on the review and inspection of a cross section of GVB sites, DRMS has determined that
permit requirements have been fulfilled with regard to the reclamation of methane drainage
wells. OMLLC has successfully reclaimed GVB sites as required. Boreholes have been sealed
and drill pads and mud pits have been backfilled, graded, topsoiled, and seeded as required. To
the extent possible OMLLC has backfilled, graded, topsoiled, and seeded those roads that will no
longer be needed for access to future methane drainage well locations. Additional work remains
to be completed at many of the GVB sites including cutting the stick up of the well casing off
below grade and some minor final grading. Any remaining topsoil will be redistributed and the
locations will be permanently marked and reseeded as needed. OMLLC has a plan to
systematically work back from the furthest well locations down towards the main facilities as
methane drainage wells and light use drill roads are no longer needed. Required erosion control
practices and weed control practices have been implemented and are succeeding as evidenced by
the lack of erosion and no significant weed infestations at reclaimed GVB sites. Examples of
plugged and abandoned methane drainage wells and fully reclaimed GVB site drill roads and
pads are shown in attached Photograph No.'s 8 through 12.
