No signs of erosion or cutting observed in the area. No slumping or caving <br />was observed along the backfilled portals. <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 />The Munger Creek was dry during the inspection. <br />The haul road was reclaimed during the later part of 2014. The area was backfilled, topsoiled and reseeded. The <br />primary discharge culvert was removed as well. No issues were observed. <br />All ten reconstructed drainages were inspected.
