January 24,2020 C-1981-035/King Coal Mine JHB <br /> The refuse pile at King I is snow covered with no recent vehicle tracks up the haul road to the top of the <br /> pile. It appears that the top of the refuse pile is graded to manage runoff to the ditches. The upland collection <br /> ditch appears to be complete and is snow covered. <br /> The haul road from the county road to the base of the refuse pile road has been cleared of snow and it appears that <br /> work has recently occurred in this area. No trucks were on site in the photos, and the gate across the haul road to <br /> the site was closed. <br /> ROADS—Rule 4.03 <br /> Construction 4.03.1(3)/4.03.2(3),Drainage 4.03.1(4)/4.03.2(4), Surfacing and Maintenance4.03.1(5) and <br /> (6)/4.03.2(5) and(6),Reclamation 4.03.1(7)/4.03.2(7): <br /> The Refuse pile haul road up the face of the Refuse pile at King 1 has not been cleared of snow and <br /> remains snow covered. No vehicle traffic has accessed the refuse pile. Allowing the refuse pile and refuse pile <br /> haul road to remain idle and snow covered is good management during the winter months and reduces runoff and <br /> sedimentation. <br /> The roads at the King 1 facilities area were dry. Little activity at the facilities area was apparent at the time the <br /> photos were taken <br /> SUPPORT FACILITIES - Rule 4.04: <br /> The raw coal pile has an unusual hole on the top,just east of the stacker tube.
