October 19, 2015 C-1982-056/Foidel Creek Mine JLE <br />marker, but the pile has not been reconfigured to a more stable configuration. TC would like to spread this topsoil <br />in the near future on the face of the reclaimed 2nd bench and would prefer not to manipulate the pile or move it <br />unnecessarily. TC will need to monitor the progress of completing the 2nd bench of the CRDA expansion and <br />evaluate the feasibility of replacing the topsoil in the near future. If the topsoil will not be spread in the near <br />future, the pile will need to be reconfigured with more gentle side slopes and seeded. <br />The underdrain system does not appear to have been advanced up the slope since the last DRMS inspection. The <br />RDA -6 drainage appeared stable and functional. TC has not repaired the small head -cut observed along the RDA - <br />lb drainage on the north and west side of the CRDA pile. Mr. Nettleton observed the area in question and will <br />likely bring in rock to help stabilize the drainage. It may be necessary to install several rock check dams to help <br />stabilize the drainage. <br />The face of the first bench is vegetated and stable. Water was discharging at the underdrain and the seep at the toe <br />of the slope adjacent to the underdrain. Signs of failure and instability were not observed. <br />ROADS — Rule 4.03 <br />Construction 4.03.1(3)/4.03.2(3) <br />Drainage 4.03.1(4)/4.03.2(4) <br />Surfacing and Maintenance4.03.1(5) and (6)/4.03.2(5) and (6) <br />Reclamation 4.03.1(7)/4.03.2(7): <br />The road around each of the facilities appeared to be graded and maintained. <br />SLIDES and DAMAGE - Rule 4.12: <br />Repairs have been made to the northwest slope of the Fish Creek Tipple reclaimed area. Rills were observed in <br />this area and the Operator has repaired the rills and smoothed the hill side. The Division recommends installing <br />erosion control waddles to help stabilize the area and seeding the area. <br />Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 2 <br />Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 2 <br />Page 6 of 12 <br />
