The assistance of Ron Thompson was very helpful and greatly appreciated. A copy of the <br />inspection report has been attached for your records. <br />Violations: <br />1. No violations were noted. <br />Perutit Issues• <br />These items may assist the Division during the next dischazge permit renewal or to provide clarification <br />for an amendment to the current permit. During the inspection, we observed the following facility <br />conditions that aze not accurately represented in the permit: <br />2. The coal processing facility has been closed down and the site is currently being reclaimed. <br />3. During the spring of 2003, reclamation efforts were started on the runoff sedimentation pond for <br />Outfa11005. The discharge structure has been removed since the pond has been filled in, the site <br />graded, and seeds planted. The seeds had germinated and vegetative cover was establishing <br />itself over the azea. Thus, this dischazge point is inactive. <br />4. Since the mine closed, the domestic mechanical WWTF for Outfa11033 has been removed from <br />service and the discharge point has been inactive. <br />
