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. 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 /> All fuel and hazardous materials storage areas were observed as part of this inspection. The main above <br /> ground fuel tank that has been on site has been removed,including the pump and all delivery lines. The secondary <br /> containment structure is still present,however will be removed in the near future. The footprint of the tank area <br /> including the pump station showed no signs of leakage or spillage during the removal process. The area where the <br /> tank used to be can be seen in Photo One. The used oil tanks located adjacent to the shop building were observed <br /> and verified to be empty. These tanks have been decommissioned and not used in some time,however still <br /> present on site. With the decommissioning of the used oil tanks and the removal of the bulk fuel storage tank,the <br /> only remaining area that hazardous materials are stored is the pole barn to the south of the office. This small area <br /> contains spill pallets where small quantities of hydraulic fluid and various pieces of equipment containing oils are <br /> stored. All items stored on the pallets are in good condition and can be seen in Photo Two. No evidence of <br /> significant spillage or loss of containment was noted. <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 /> All topsoil stockpiles were observed during this inspection. The Johnson Property storage area piles, <br /> including the recently relocated piles have established vegetative cover and appeared to be stable. All piles were <br /> well marked, and the ring berms around the perimeter of the piles are in good condition. No evidence of erosion <br /> or transport of topsoil was noted. Examples of the piles can be seen in Photos Three and Four. <br /> Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 1 <br /> Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 0 <br /> Page 2 of 6 <br />
