Gob Pile 1 has been reclaimed a nd vegetation has grown <br />well on it. Gob Pile 4 has been partially reclaimed. Subsoil has been replaced on much of the pile, the remaining <br />portion will be completed at the same time as when subsoil is finished being placed on Gob Pile 2. Volunteer <br />vegetation has grown on much of the subsoil material placed on Gob Piles 2 and 4. This plant growth has helped <br />stabilize the piles and reduce the amount of sediment transported with runoff. The diversion ditches to the gob <br />piles were clear from debris and capable of functioning as designed. There was not any water flowing in the <br />ditches at the time of the inspection. The to p of Gob Pile 2 has yet to be covered with subsoil. The top of the pile <br />has been graded to create positive drainage to an outlet lined with sediment logs. The outlet was in good repair.
