The ditches <br />were observed to be unobstructed and have minimal amounts of sediment deposited within the channels. The <br />culverts were observed to have unobstructed inlets and outlets (Photos 1 and 2). The sediment control structures <br />were stable and there were no erosional features observed. <br />Likewise, the ditches and culverts associated with the mine portals were observed to be in good condition. The <br />ditches were clear of debris and had minimal sediment deposition (Photo 3). The associated culvert inlets and <br />outlets were unobstructed (Photo 4). The sediment control structures were stable with no erosional features <br />identified. <br />The Substation Drop (Photo 5) and Yard Drop Culvert (Photo 6) inlets were clear of debris and stable.
