The mine permit was revoked and the <br />bond forfeited in 1994. The site is fully reclaimed. There has been some additional activity at the site since the <br />last inspection. During the last inspection, I noted that a new structure was being built over what appeared to be <br />an excavation at the end of the lower reclaimed road segment. Upon further inspection, it appears to be a fully <br />functional outhouse with a satellite dish attached (see Photo No. 1). The surface owner of the site at this location <br />must have recently built this structure. <br />AVAILABILITY OF RECORDS — Rule 5.02.4(1): <br />This is a bond forfeiture site and all applicable records are maintained by the Division. <br />HYDROLOGIC BALANCE - Rule 4.05 <br />Drainage Control 4.05.1, 4.05.2, 4.053; Siltation Structures 4.05.5, 4.05.6; Discharge Structures 4.05.7, <br />4.05.10; Diversions 4.05.4; Effluent Limits 4.05.2; Ground Water Monitoring 4.05.13; Surface Water Monitoring <br />4.05.13; Drainage — Acid and Toxic Materials 4.05.8; Impoundments 4.05.6, 4.05.9; Stream Buffer Zones 4.05.18: <br />The mine site was very dry at the time of the inspection.
