July 19, 2016 C-1982-056/Foidel Creek Mine JLE <br /> <br /> <br />Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 0 <br />Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 1 <br /> <br /> Page 14 of 20 <br /> <br /> The former Fish Creek Tipple area was observed. Overall the area is revegetated and dense perennial <br />grass establishment was observed. <br /> There is a culvert on the northwest side of the Fish Creek Tipple reclaimed area that appears to <br />have been partially crushed by equipment doing maintenance on the adjacent rail line. This <br />culvert will need to repaired or replaced. <br />TC has regraded the erosion rill observed above the Fish Creek Tipple pond, however the area is fairly steep and <br />erosion control waddles or matting may be needed as some small rills appear to have formed. TC has installed <br />erosion control matting on the northwest side of the Fish Creek Tipple reclaimed area where erosion was observed <br />during previous Division inspections. <br /> <br />TC has constructed the 9 East Start Room Utility Borehole pad and access road. It appears TC chose the second <br />option for the placement of the pad. Topsoil has been removed and stockpiled in two piles on the west side of the <br />access road and one pile on the west side of the borehole pad. The topsoil piles have been shaped into a stable <br />configuration. TC had a contractor on site conducting several site maintenance tasks. One of the tasks was <br />installing and repairing topsoil stockpile markers throughout the site. According to the contractor on site they <br />were going to install markers on the piles at this location. Straw waddles were installed on the west side of the <br />topsoil stockpile adjacent to the 9 East drill pad. TC was in the process of drilling the first of the two holes at the <br />time of the inspection. The mud pit was installed on the east side of the pad. The run-off diversion ditches on the <br />south, west and north side of the pad had been installed and the required rock check dams were in place. TC was <br />installing the powerline to the 9 East Utility Borehole at the time of the inspection. <br /> <br />Figure 6. 9 East Start room Utility Borehole Drilling Operations
