There were no erosional features observed. <br />Culverts and ditches associated with the loadout and coal processing area were noted to be stable. There were no <br />erosional features observed. Culvert inlet and outlets were clear of blockages and functioning as designed (Photo <br />7). There was a minimal amount of sediment observed to be deposited within the ditches. <br />All of the internal drainage ditches are designed to transport water to the sediment pond. The sediment pond was <br />impounding water during the inspection. The level of water within the pond was below the inlet of the primary <br />spillway (Photo 8). No discharge from the pond was occurring at the time of the inspection (Photo 9). The <br />discharge outlet was observed to be clear of debris and able to function as designed. The pond’s embankments <br />were stable with vegetative cover. There were no erosional features or animal burrows observed. <br />One sump is located on the east side of the hydrocarbon storage shed (Photo 10). The sump was muddy during the <br />inspection but not holding any water. The sump was stable with no indications of erosional features. <br />The east clearwater diversion ditch was muddy during the inspection (Photo 11 and 12). There was not any water <br />flowing through the ditch. The ditch was observed to be clear of debris. The ditch was stable with no erosional <br />features. <br />The west clearwater ditch was also muddy with no water flowing through (Photo 13). The ditch was clear of <br />debris with no erosional features. There were no indications of instability. Culverts C-2, C-3 (Photo 14) and C-18 <br />(Photo 15) were clear of debris and in good condition. <br />The east and west clearwater ditches merge south of the sediment pond. This portion of the clearwater ditch was <br />clear of debris and stable. There were no indications of erosional features. Culvert C-1, located under County <br />Road 120, was clear of blockages and in good condition. <br /> <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 />Topsoil Stockpile #1 is located on the west side of the sediment pond. The stockpile was stable with vegetative <br />cover (Photo 16). There were no indications of erosional features. The perimeter ditch for the stockpile was clear <br />of debris and stable. No erosional concerns were observed. There was no loss of topsoil resources identified. The <br />topsoil pile marker was observed to be posted on top of the stockpile in a location with an unobstructed view. <br />Topsoil Stockpile #2 is located to the north of the coal processing facilities. The stockpile was covered with <br />vegetation (Photo 17). There were no indications of instability or erosional features. The perimeter ditch was <br />unobstructed and stable. There were no indications of the loss of topsoil resources. The pile’s topsoil marker was <br />observed to be posted on top of the stockpile, in a location with an unobstructed view. <br /> <br /> <br />DOCUMENTS RECEIVED: None <br />OTHER (SPECIFY): None
