September 21, 2015 C-1982-056/Foidel Creek Mine JLE <br />channel has established in this drainage and overall the drainage is stable. One small head -cut was observed that <br />was about 2.5 feet deep that should be stabilized. <br />Figure 1. Head -cut in RDA -1b drainage <br />The following maintenance item will need to be addressed: <br />• The culvert at the intersection of Routt County Road 33 and the 6MN ventilation shaft access road is about <br />3/4 full of sediment and needs to be cleaned out. <br />• The head -cut in the RDA -lb drainage needs to be repaired and stabilized. <br />GENERAL MINE PLAN COMPLIANCE: <br />TC is longwall mining in the Western Mining District in the 13LT Panel. Development mining is occurring in the <br />Wolf Creek Reserve in the 9RT gateroad. <br />The WC -022 corehole was observed. During the August 2015 DRMS inspection, it was unclear if this corehole <br />was sealed. According to Mr. Watterson, TC had the driller assess the corehole and had them grout and seal the <br />hole. The corehole was sealed. <br />PROCESSING WASTE/COAL MINE WASTE PILES — Rule 4.10 and 4.11 <br />Drainage Control; Surface Stabilization; Placement: <br />TC continues to place coal mine waste in the refuse disposal area. Waste has been placed near the end of the <br />underdrain at the top of the refuse disposal area. The second bench is nearly at the final elevation. Reclamation of <br />this bench face may occur next spring. Topsoil has been stripped on the west side of the refuse disposal area near <br />the top of the 2nd bench. The topsoil is stockpiled adjacent to the top of the 2nd bench. It does not appear TC <br />will be able to reclaim the second bench face prior to winter. Given this, the stripped topsoil will need to be <br />protected from wind and water erosion. The topsoil stockpile will need to be shaped in a more stable <br />configuration and marked with a topsoil identification marker.
