The site is in final reclamation,and not active <br /> the day of the inspection. The weather was cloudy but dry.Frank Ferns of Elk Ridge Mining and Reclamation <br /> Accompanied the inspection and represented the Operator. Six Photos accompany this report to illustrate the <br /> observed site conditions. <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;Effluent Limits 4.05.2; Ground Water Monitoring 4.05.13; Surface Water Monitoring 4.05.13; <br /> Drainage —Acid and Toxic Materials 4.05.8;Impoundments 4.05.6,4.05.9; Stream Buffer Zones 4.05.18: <br /> On site fuel storage is located at the facilites and shop area of the site. The bulk fuel tank, shown in Photo <br /> One is in good condition with proper secondary containment. The tank's secondary containment consists of <br /> bermed and lined structure. The secondary containment contained no precipitation and visually appears to be of <br /> sufficient capacity of containing any potential spills. All lines and pump systems are also in good condition. <br /> Located adjacent to the shop,are two used oil tanks within secondary containment. These tanks have been <br /> decommissioned,are no longer in use and verified to be empty. <br /> TOPSOIL—Rule 4.06 <br /> Removal 4.06.2; Substitute Materials 4.06.4(4); Storage and Protection 4.06.3; Redistribution 4.06.4: <br /> The topsoil and other stockpiled materials are stored in three main areas. The first area,is adjacent to the <br /> shop facilities where a mixed topsoil and topsoil B stockpile are located. The mixed topsoil stockpile, shown in <br /> Photo Two,was stable at the time of inspection and well vegetated. No signs or erosion was noted,and the <br /> perimeter ring ditch is in excellent condition. The topsoil B stockpile,shown in Photo Three,has recently been <br /> seeded and shows evidence of some growth. The vegetative cover is sparse,but is coming in. The stockpile was <br /> stable at the time and no evidence of erosion was noted and the ring ditch was also in good condition. Both <br /> stockpiles so no evidence of noxious weeds. <br /> The second topsoil storage area is located near Pond 16. Located in this area are several stockpiles including <br /> mixed topsoil,topsoil A and bench 1 material. All stockpiles observed were stable and in good condition. <br /> Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 2 <br /> Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 1 <br /> Page 2 of 6 <br />
