June 18, 2020 C-1980-007/West Elk Mine LDS <br />The locations of all disturbances were field verified using the internal GPS receiver of a Samsung Galaxy S9+ cell <br />phone and the Esri Collector app. Features collected in the field are shown in figure 1, overlain on an aerial image. <br />Figure 2 shows the same features overlain on a copy of the map showing the approved layout of pads and roads <br />(the map was added to Exhibit 80 of the Permit Application Packet (PAP) with the approval of Minor Revision <br />441, and was georeferenced using projected section lines). The length of the road was measured at 1,207m <br />(3,960ft). The area of the SS2-3 pad was measured at 1,521m2 (0.38acres), and that of SS2-5 was 1,373m2 <br />(0.34acres). <br />Topsoil had been scraped from the road surface and pushed to the downslope side of the road, together with the <br />fallen tree trunks, where it could be readily accessed for future reclamation. <br />The two pads that had been constructed had firm level surfaces. Topsoil had been salvaged, stockpiled, seeded, <br />mulched with straw, and marked with a sign -post. Straw wattles had been staked around the base of topsoil <br />stockpiles in order to control sediment runoff. Vegetation cleared from the pad surface had been placed around the <br />bottom of the pad outslope so as to control sediment runoff from the disturbance. Mud -pits had been dug on both <br />pads in anticipation of well drilling, and were protected by barbed wire fences. <br />DOCUMENTS RECEIVED <br />N/A <br />OTHER (SPECIFY) <br />N/A <br />Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 9 <br />Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 4 <br />Page 3 of 8 <br />
