The southern <br /> collection ditch was functioning adequately and the culvert under the haul road remains clean of debris at both the <br /> inlet and outlet.

No concerns <br /> were noted on the upper RDA. <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 roads within King II facilities area were adequately graded and draining to the sediment control <br /> system.
