The material noted on <br />the west side of the pile during the March 2015 inspection has been graded and spread with compaction activities <br />on -going during the inspection. <br />The under drain was discharging at the time of the inspection with a trickle discharge. <br />No problems were noted, with the exception of the following: <br />- Refuse material on the east side of the pile contained pooled water throughout. The Division understands that <br />this is a common occurrence after recent precipitation events; however, this area should be graded in such a <br />manner that no pooled water is on the pile. <br />Gob Pile 44 <br />Reclamation of the west side of Gob Pile #4 is completed.
