The <br />report was received by the Division on October 3, 2016 via e-mail. It appears this report was submitted to comply with <br />Rule 4.05.9(14), (15) and (17). The impoundments at the site were inspected on September 23, 2016 by you (Brian <br />Watterson). The report was stamped/certified by Michael Berdine a registered professional engineer on September 28, <br />2016. <br />The following are maintenance items that were either noted to have been completed or to be required. Wood was <br />cleared from the discharge drainage at the Area 1 pond. TC plans to have the cattails removed around the primary <br />spillway at Pond T. It was noted that concrete was placed around the weir at Pond G to repair short-circuiting around <br />the devise. The spillway riser at the Fish Creek Tipple Pond was straightened in August. TC will have the embankment <br />of Pond C raked and re -seeded. TC noted that the barrier upstream of the flume needs to be replaced at Pond B. The <br />delta at Pond E needs to be cleaned out and removed. The flume at Pond F needs to be repaired by adding concrete to <br />prevent short-circuiting. There was a clog noted in a pipe at the Waste Water Treatment Pond #3 that will need to be <br />addressed. <br />The Division acknowledges the maintenance items that have been completed and agrees with the maintenance items <br />that remain to be done. <br />Overall it appears the report is in general compliance with Rule 4.05.9(14) that all impoundments be inspected by a <br />qualified registered professional engineer or other qualified professional specialist yearly. The report was supplied to the <br />Division shortly after the impoundments were inspected. Per Rule 4.05.9(14)(c) and (17) please retain a copy of this <br />report at the mine site. <br />The pond inspection report forms submitted contain the information required by Rule 4.05.9(15). <br />Also the report satisfies the requirement that all impoundments be examined at least quarterly by a qualified person <br />designated by the operator for appearances of structural weakness or other hazardous conditions on a quarterly basis. <br />Thank you for your submittal, <br />On Mon, Oct 3, 2016 at 8:58 AM, Watterson, Brian <BWatterson@peabodyenergy.com> wrote: <br />-----Original Message ----- <br />From: twentymile@peabodyenergy.com[mailto:twentymiie@peabodyenergy.com] <br />Sent: Monday, October 03, 2016 9:06 AM <br />To: Watterson, Brian <br />Subject: Scanned from Engineering Trailer <br />https://mail.googl e.com/m ai I/u/0/?ui=2&i k=e29129fcb5&view=pt&search= i nbox&th=157d8294108999ec&si m l=157d8294108999ec 1/2 <br />
