August 24, 2017 C-1981-038/Bowie No. 1 Mine CCW <br /> <br /> <br />Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 2 <br />Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 0 <br /> <br /> Page 3 of 6 <br /> <br /> <br />Binwall Ponds 1 through 4 and the West Ridge Pond at the East Mine had been backfilled and regraded to approximate <br />original contour (AOC). The ROM Pile Pond was also backfilled and graded to AOC. There are sediment control <br />measures in place at the bottom of the West Ridge Pond, Binwall Pond #4 and the ROM Pond. The sediment control <br />measures included sediment logs, hay bales and silt fencing to prevent off site impacts from the newly reclaimed areas. <br />The inspected reclaimed ponds did not have any indications of instability. There had been a few precipitation events prior <br />to the inspection. The reclaimed areas had no erosional features, such as rills or gullies, forming on them. The sediment <br />control features did not have any large amounts of sediment accumulated on them. <br /> <br />Photo 3: The reclaimed Binwall Pond #2. Photo 4: The Reclaimed Binwall Pond #4. There are <br />straw bales and silt fences placed at the bottom of the <br />reclaimed pond to help reduce the amount of sediment that <br />could run off of the site during a precipitation event. <br /> <br />Photo 5 (Left): The reclaimed ROM Pile Pond. The tree <br />that had grown in the pond will remain in place.
