Large East Pit gully with exposed coal. <br />There are three areas where the erosion and gully formations have uncovered coal. Table 3 gives the <br />GPS coordinates for the exposed coal areas. <br />Table 3 <br />Area Latitude Longitude <br />1 38d 17'06.164"N 105d 08' 53.863"W <br />2 38d 17'05.155"N 105d 08'49.014"W <br />3 38d 16' 58.542"N 105d 09'05.600"W <br />In the drainage channel from the East Pit, concrete drop V structures were installed at the time of <br />the reclamation. Eight of these structures have been completely destroyed with resulting gully <br />formation and 4064 yd3lost. In the construction no steel rebar was utilized to prevent the cracking and <br />the destruction of these structures. A further historical note is that The Corley Company had a <br />mechanic's lien filed against its property when the reclamation contractor failed to pay for the concrete. <br />
