COMMENTS
This was a complete inspection of the Yeast Mine conducted by Susan Burgmaier of CDRMS. Roy Karo of
Seneca Coal Company was present during the inspection. Roads into the site had not been plowed, so the mine
areas were inaccessible. Only Ponds 011 012 013 and 014 were accessible since they are located on county
roads.
