All <br />mining is progressing as permitted. <br />PROCESSING WASTE /COAL MINE WASTE PILES — Rule 4.10 and 4.11 <br />Drainage Control; Surface Stabilization; Placement: <br />The coal refuse disposal area (CRDA) and coal refuse disposal area expansion are constructed west of the <br />reclaimed valley and to the west of the Area 1 Pit. The CRDA and expansion continues to be an active refuse pile <br />in construction. <br />Refuse material continues to be placed in the RDA expansion area. Material was being stockpiled at the North end <br />of the RDA at the time of the inspection. The RDA was wet due to recent rains with no water pooling and <br />compacted at the time of the inspection. The refuse material had not yet reached the head of the under -drain of the <br />RDA. The exposed under -drain was stable and constructed as designed. The underdrain is at the edge of the <br />topsoil stripping area. Phase 1 of the RDA expansion is nearing completion. <br />The first bench has been completed and the second bench is near elevation. The out slope of the first bench is <br />stable and vegetated with suitable material placed on the slope and the first bench and the slope of the second <br />bench is stable. The construction of the east perimeter ditch RDA4 has been completed and is stable. <br />Interseeding may be required in the fall. <br />Minor rilling ( -6 " -8" deep) was observed on the east side of the RDA as the material ties into the RDA expansion <br />area. No problems were noted and monitoring should continue as noted in the quarterly refuse pile inspection <br />Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 2 <br />Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 1 <br />Page 7 of 12 <br />
