August 22, 2019 G1996-083/Bowie No. 2 Mine RDZ <br /> or adding keyed-in check dams. The Division is available to further discuss the options with BRL and/or Stover <br /> and Associates. The reach of Ditch D-4 below this eroding reach appears to be stable. <br /> BRL has cleaned the ditch to J Pond. <br /> Water is seeping out of the Fire Mountain Canal near the east end of Gob Pile#3. BRL has routed the water <br /> around the pile, and it eventually flows to Pond J. Basil Bear measured the flow with a bucket during the <br /> inspection,and the result was approximately 7 gpm. He said that it has been worse (larger flows)in the past and <br /> that the ditch company has performed some work to fix this problem. Basil indicated that the ditch company <br /> intends to do more work to try to stop the seepage. <br /> The structures affiliated with the diversion gate at Curve 8 require cleaning of sediment. <br /> PROCESSING WASTE/COAL MINE WASTE PILES—Rule 4.10 and 4.11 <br /> Drainage Control; Surface Stabilization; Placement: <br /> BRL is trying to address erosion on Gob Pile#2, and the associated sediment loading into Pond F. At the time of <br /> the inspection, an equipment operator was cutting water bars to slow the flow. Another employee was installing <br /> wattles at the southeast corner of the pile. <br /> The Coverfill Pile next to Gob Pile#2 appears to be in good shape. <br /> BRL's engineering contractor(Huddleston-Berry Engineering&Testing, LLC of Grand Junction, CO)was <br /> performing compaction testing on Gob Pile#3 during the inspection. Testing locations had to be excavated <br /> because too much material had been added to the pile. The east of the pile is flat, and BRL is using this area to dry <br /> material prior to permanent placement on the pile. <br /> The Coverfill Pile next to Gob Pile#3 appears to be in good shape. <br /> ROADS—Rule 4.03 <br /> Construction 4.03.1(3)/4.032(3),Drainage 4.03.1(4)/4.032(4), Surfacing and Maintenance4.03.1(5)and <br /> (6)/4.03.2(5) and(6),Reclamation 4.031(7)/4.03.2(7): <br /> No problems were seen with roads. The hillside above Curve 8,which is armored with boulders, is stable. <br /> Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 2 <br /> Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 0 <br /> Page 3 of It <br />
