The surface water monitoring plan, together with the monitoring of pond outfalls associated with <br />CDPS permits issued by the Water Quality Control Division, are also described in Section 2.05.6 and <br />Exhibit 25. This plan provides for measurement and recording of the quantity and quality of all <br />discharges from the permit area. The frequency, density, and accuracy of monitoring was designed to <br />allow EFCI to evaluate and determine the success of mine plans, drainage and sediment control <br />facilities, and reclamation of disturbed areas. <br />M. OBSERVATIONS AND FINDINGS <br />PHASE I <br />Much of the surface disturbance at the mine and loadout were Phase I released with prior applications. <br />For SL -03, the Phase I areas of interest are the loadout ponds, Substation #2, the area near the Corley <br />well (which consists of a group of two -track roads), and Ponds 4 and 5. Backfilling and grading <br />activities were performed as follows: <br />• Loadout ponds - initiated October 2014 and completed November 2014 <br />• Substation #2 — initiated during the second half of 2014 and completed September 2015. <br />• The area near the Corley well was reclaimed in the 2002 — 2003 era when most other mine site <br />reclamation took place. <br />• Ponds 4 and 5 — not applicable as they are designated permanent. <br />The bond release inspection and other inspections have revealed that the loadout ponds, Substation #2, <br />and the area near the Corley well have been regraded to approximate original contour. These areas all <br />blend with surrounding undisturbed and reclaimed areas as shown in the following photographs. <br />Southfield Mine SL -03 Page 13 of 21 February 23, 2016 <br />
