Mr, Griglak, P.E. has conducted <br />inspections for the placement of earthwork/embankment fill material for numerous <br />commercial, residential and municipal projects in which buildings, roadways and parking <br />facilities were installed over the placed materials, <br />The condition of the perimeter ditches located along the north and south sides of the property <br />were generally in good condition (see Pic. 1). The drainage channels were generally clear of <br />debris and there was no damage observed to any of the channel sections. <br />There was no stockpiled material on top of the embankment (see Pic. 2), The face of the <br />embankment was in good condition and does not show any signs of excessive erosion, <br />instability or weakness (see Pic.3). <br />There are some trailers and a dozer stored on the site near the old bath house, The only <br />structure with any proximity to the embankment material is the old bath house which is no <br />longer utilized and is abandoned. Personnel are only on-site to bring and/or place material on <br />the embankment or for mine rescue training. The mine rescue training is performed on the <br />north side of the site well away from the embankment material. The site is closed to the public <br />and has a locked gate at the entrance to keep the public out. <br />The waste pile has been and continues to be constructed and maintained as specified in the <br />design approved by the Division of Minerals and Geology. Potential hazards to life and property <br />are minimal due to the fact that GCC has moved most of their operations to their King 11 facility. <br />P.O.
