The site is in final reclamation,and not active <br /> the day of the inspection. The weather was clear and dry.Mindy Sickels of Elk Ridge Mining and Reclamation <br /> Accompanied the inspection and represented the Operator. Eight 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 /> All fuel and hazardous materials that are stored at various locations within the facilities area were <br /> observed during the inspection. The site contains one bulk fuel storage tank,two decommissioned used oil storage <br /> containers and a miscellaneous storage area. The bulk fuel storage tank is located near the shop facility,used for <br /> vehicle and equipment fueling. The tanks secondary containment device is in excellent condition and no evidence <br /> of spills or leakage was observed. The transfer lines and filling station also show no signs of leaks or spills. The <br /> tank and filling station can be seen in Photo One. Located adjacent to the shop,on the south side,are two <br /> decommissioned used oil containers that were in use while the mine was active. Though they are decommissioned <br /> and no longer in use,the tanks are in excellent condition and can be seen in Photo Two. Near the office building <br /> is the small pole barn that houses the miscellaneous storage area. Typically various oils,hydraulic fluids and other <br /> hazardous materials are stored on spill pallets. Recently,almost all of those items have been removed from the <br /> site. At the time of the inspection only a few small tanks and small pieces of equipment are being stored on the <br /> spill pallets. The secondary containment of the spill pallets is in good condition and far exceeds the volume of <br /> materials stored. Photo Three shows the spill pallet with materials. <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 storage area adjacent to the shop facility and its various piles were observed. All topsoil <br /> stockpiles in this area were stable at the time of the inspection and no evidence of erosion or sedimentation was <br /> Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 6 <br /> Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 3 <br /> Page 2 of 7 <br />
