II. Compliance with Colorado Su_-face Coal %fining Reclamation Act <br /> CRS 2973, as amended 34-33-101, et, sec. , <br /> and the <br /> Rules and Regulations Issued Pursuant to the Act <br /> This includes a 14'sting of the particular provisions of the regulatory program which were <br /> examined during the course of this inspection, and identifies enforcement actions taken <br /> during the inspection for faiiuXe 'to comply with the Rules and Regulations, the Act and <br /> the permit. <br /> 4.03 Roads <br /> Road surfaces and road drainage ditches and culverts were, for the most part, well <br /> maintained and functioning properly. The first haul road culvert below the #2 coal <br /> stockpile was partially blocked and should be cleaned. Plugged culverts noted in the <br /> Play inspection had been cleaned. <br /> 4.05 Hydrologic Balance <br /> The majority of the problems noted in the Hydrologic Balance section of the May <br /> inspection report have been wholly resolved. Sediment had been cleaned from around the <br /> primary spillway and the edges of the P1K pond, the bus garage pond and Pond 007. The <br /> operator had been unable to schedule a dragline to complete the sediment cleanout at <br /> these ponds. At present, the ponds are functional. However, the sediment storage is <br /> obviously near design capacity and complete cleanout must be accomplished this summer. <br /> The sludge pond at the preparation plant is also nearing capacity and must be <br /> cleaned out this summer. <br /> 4.10 and <br /> 4.11 Coal Processing Waste and Non-Coal Processing Waste <br /> The north-facing slopes on the existing coal processing waste disposal area above <br /> Pond 007 are to be graded to a 2:1, topsoiled and seeded by this fall. <br /> Plans for a new waste disposal area have been included in the permit application <br /> currently under review by the Division. <br />
