Mr. Jordan McCourt accompanied the <br /> inspection and represented GCC. The weather was mild and dry with a light wind. <br /> AIR RESOURCE PROTECTION—Rule 4.17: <br /> Coal dust is blowing from the clean coal stockpile at the air jig. This dust drifts onto the southern end of <br /> topsoil stockpile#2. The inspector and GCC representative,Jordan, discussed potential methods to protect the <br /> topsoil resource,Rule 4.06.3(2). Should a proposed solution require construction or reconfiguration of the storage <br /> area,a technical revision would be necessary. Coal dust was also drifting into the adjacent undisturbed area to the <br /> north and east of the air jig. <br /> The temporary coal mine waste storage area at King I was also dusty. This area is actively being transported up to <br /> the top of the refuse pile. During the inspection a water truck was on site and spraying the top of the pile. The <br /> Water truck operator stated that he would spray the road and the work area,but was waiting until the vehicles were <br /> off, due to concerns of making the roadways too slick. It was noted that the buildup of refuse on the roadway <br /> would be scraped up to get down to the road,to reduce the dust and loose condition. This is acceptable. GCC <br /> needs to stay ahead of the dusty conditions. <br /> AVAILABILITY OF RECORDS—Rule 5.02.4(1): <br /> Records were verified in the mine office. "Availability of Records"form is attached to the end of this <br /> report. <br /> HYDROLOGIC BALANCE -Rule 4.05 <br /> Drainage Control 4.05.1,4.05.2,4.05.3; Siltation Structures 4.05.5,4.05.6; Discharge Structures 4.05.7,4.05.10; <br /> Diversions 4.05.4; Impoundments 4.05.6,4.05.9: <br /> The inspection commenced around the perimeter on the King II facilities area, observing the perimeter <br /> ditch and internal ditches,pond 1, culverts, and drainage throughout the facilities area. <br /> CWD-1 A was in good condition,free of debris and no obvious deposits of sediment. Culvert C 18 (Map King II- <br /> 007A)was clear and in good repair. Culvert C 17,just east of the rock dust silo,inlet is partially crushed.
