PROCESSING WASTE/COAL MINE WASTE PILES —Rule 4.10 and 4.11❑ Drainage Control; Surface
Stabilization; Placement:
Refuse was being placed in the Gob Pile 43 area. Wet material was being mixed with excavated subsoil to
achieve proper moisture levels for compaction. The subsoil and refuse mix was being graded by a dozer;there
was no compactor operating at the time of the inspection. The maximum capacity for end-dumped material had
been reached in the designated drying area,prompting the operator to begin compaction efforts.
Excavation of cover material was under way at Gob Pile 43. The area has been excavated about 25-30' below
original grade. At the time of the inspection, all of the material being excavated was being mixed with gob
material for compaction on the west end of the pile.
End dumped material has been left idle on Gob Pile 42. The tops of the end-dumped material have been leveled
off,and trenches were excavated through the material to ensure drainage. The operator indicated that the material
would be graded and compacted as weather conditions allow. The operator is currently working to submit a
revision to the permit application to designate certain portions of Gob Pile 42 as drying areas.
The last DRMS inspection identified three temporary culverts on the gob pile that needed to be addressed in the
permit application. The operator reported that one temporary culvert had been removed, another replaced with a
larger culvert, and the third left in place. The permit application will need to be revised to include documentation
and design information for the two remaining culverts.
