Aerial photographs were taken on July 28, 2014 at approximately <br />12:20 PM. Mike Boulay of the DRMS reviewed the aerial photographs. Weather conditions appear to be overcast <br />at the time of the flight. Four photographs were taken during the flyover. <br />HYDROLOGIC BALANCE - Rule 4.05 <br />Drainage Control 4.05.1, 4.05.2, 4.05.3; Siltation Structures 4.05.5, 4.05.6; Discharge Structures 4.05.7, 4.05.10; <br />Diversions 4.05.4, Effluent Limits 4.05.2; Ground Water Monitoring 4.05.13; Surface Water Monitoring 4.05.13; <br />Drainage — Acid and Toxic Materials 4.05.8; Impoundments 4.05.6, 4.05.9; Stream Buffer Zones 4.05.18: <br />Pond 001 is clearly visible in the photographs. This is the only sediment pond that has been constructed to date at <br />the mine site. The pond appears to be retaining some water. There is also water visible in the active pit bottom. <br />Ground conditions appear to be dry and all areas of the site appear stable with no problems noted. <br />GENERAL MINE PLAN COMPLIANCE: <br />The primary activity at the site is backfill and grading spoil material. It does not appear that coal is being hauled <br />from the mine at the time of the inspection. Topsoil has been salvaged well ahead of the active pit area. <br />Overburden and topsoil stockpiles appear stable <br />DOCUMENTS RECEIVED None <br />OTHER (SPECIFY) <br />Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: I <br />Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 0 <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />
