February 22,2022 C-1981-035/King Coal Mine JHB <br /> Johns, and 1 north of the locked gate. Once the snow melts off,GCC needs to follow up on these locations and <br /> assure they drain and are not ponding. SAE sediment traps alongside the Haul road North of the gate were <br /> functioning adequately. <br /> The Old Barn area was snow covered and inactive at the time of the inspection. The road had not been plowed the <br /> day of the inspection and no vehicles were utilizing the access road. Sediment control silt fence and sediment <br /> traps were maintained and appeared to be functioning. No runoff outside of the sediment control system was <br /> observed. <br /> The King II sediment control system appeared well maintained. The clean water ditch alongside the haul road was <br /> snow-covered but showed no indication of blockage or breaching. The Cattle guard SAE was working well, and <br /> not iced over or full of sediment. The gravel/ballast storage SAE had one section of silt fencing that needs re- <br /> staking,but otherwise appeared to be functioning appropriately. King II sediment pond was well vegetated and <br /> snow covered. No standing water was observed at the discharge structure of this pond. There was no indication <br /> that there had been any recent discharge from this pond. Culverts C16,C15, and C14 were all free of debris at <br /> inlets and outlets. Care had been taken during snow removal of the facilities not to push gravel into the sediment <br /> control system. <br /> PROCESSING WASTE/COAL MINE WASTE PILES—Rule 4.10 and 4.11 <br /> Drainage Control; Surface Stabilization;Placement: <br /> GCC had not been hauling refuse to the RDA recently. <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 /> Roads throughout the mine area were being maintained in accordance with the weather, or in the case of <br /> King I, left alone and not used during the snowy and muddy weather. <br /> The County Road CR120 was initially snow and ice packed.
