DMG inspected <br /> this site and agrees that reclamation was completed <br /> according to the amended Consent Decree work plan and MLR <br /> standards. <br /> - Ransom Tunnel <br /> This project was completed in July, 1997 . DMG has inspected <br /> the site and is in agreement that reclamation was completed <br /> according to the Consent Decree work plan and MLR standards. <br /> - Longfellow - Koehler Mine Waste Project <br /> This project was completed in October 1997 . DMG is in <br /> agreement that this project has been completed according to <br /> the Consent Decree work plan and MLR standards. <br /> After reviewing the October monthly report, it was noticed <br /> that the site activity report did not mention that the Koehler <br /> Tunnel was entered in October to determine if the potential <br /> existed for segregation of flows to improve water quality. <br /> Previously air quality was poor enough to bar safe entry but <br /> in October enough improvement occurred (probably a result of <br /> weather changes) to allow entry beyond the previous 300 feet <br /> limit. At 700 feet, a cave-in was found that was <br /> approximately five feet deep and twenty feet long. Entry <br /> beyond this point was not made because of deteriorating air <br /> quality and ponded water although another cave-in could be <br /> seen approximately another 100 feet in. This cave-in extended <br /> to the tunnel back barring further entry without establishing <br /> ventilation and mucking through the cave and providing ground <br /> support. The nature or location of the water flows was not <br /> found. There is an additional 1700 feet of cross-cut and <br /> the 260 feet of Carbon Lake lateral (which contains the mine <br /> workings and surface connection) behind the cave-ins. In <br /> this distance additional caves could be expected. Further <br /> work to gain entry is not anticipated due to the potential <br /> magnitude of this project with no real indication that <br /> further effort could result in water quality improvements. <br /> London Mine Portals - Waste Dumps <br /> This is a "B List" project. Therefore, no work, permitting or <br /> arrangement for access is planned until it becomes evident <br />
