Sedimentation Ponds <br /> 1. Disturbed areas in the main facilities area and yard are treated by two sediment <br /> ponds, Ponds A and B. Pond C controls sediment from the approved West <br /> Valley Coal Refuse Facility. Pond D treats runoff from the disturbed areas <br /> developed up the Elk Creek Canyon for the Elk Creek Mine. Pond E controls <br /> sediment from the II West Coal Refuse Facility. Pond F controls sediment <br /> from the Hubbard Creek Fansite. Substation 93 pond controls the sediment <br /> 17 <br />
