111111. 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.
This work has been successfully completed and both backfill areas at each pond had topsoil replaced
and the backfill area was scheduled to be seeded with the appropriate seedmix within the next few
days. The reclaimed UTL Ponds 1 and 2 are shown in Photograph No.'s 2 and 3. All of the
reclamation work to date completed at the UTL Loop area looks very good.
Processing Waste
The CRDA waste disposal sites were dry and stable, diversions and perimeter ditches appeared
functional. The temporary coal mine waste storage area atop the CRDA-1 pile was inspected.
Temporary storage of coal mine waste from McClane Canyon Mine and from other ongoing
reclamation activities at the Roadside Mine was approved with MR-75 in 2009. Hauling from
McClane Canyon Mine has been completed. Approximately 2500 tons of coal waste(coaly material
and coal refuse) was hauled from McClane Canyon Mine to the temporary storage area between June
17 and June 21, 2010. The temporary coal waste storage and handling area is shown in Photograph
No. 4. The coal waste material unloaded on the top of the CRDA-1 pile will be placed and compacted
in the road that was left open for that purpose. Cover material that was originally stripped from the
footprint of the temporary waste pile will be replaced on the disturbed area atop the CRDA-1 pile and
the site reseeded.
Support Facilities
At the South Portal area, we inspected the large lay down area located to the east of the fruit stand and
warehouse. Brant Harrison landowner and operator of the Kokopelli fruit stand has planted peach and
cherry trees at this location as an added feature and attraction for the Kokopelli fruit stand operation
(see attached Photograph No. 5). The facilities area(former shop and warehouse) and perimeter
locations at the South Portal were well maintained. The reclaimed portal area appears well vegetated
with no significant erosion.
The Substation B site was in good condition. The reclaimed areas appear to be fairly well vegetated.
At the North Decline reclaimed area, the mine discharge site (016) was viewed. The discharge from
the mine was flowing at approximately 275 gpm.
At the UTL loop area, Halliburton's contractor FCI was pouring footers for a new bridge across the
lower end of Coal Creek. They were also constructing new rail spurs for the sand off-loading facility
and have removed the sewage lagoons that were used by SCC when the mine was active. FCI was
regrading the site of the former lagoons (see Photograph No. 6). Halliburton is well underway in
constructing the Cameo Sand Offloading Facility and it is evident that an Industrial- Post Mining Land
Use has been implemented at the UTL Loop area. No signs of erosion or instability were noted at any
of the support facility locations during this inspection.
