Weather conditions were sunny and cold. The entire mine site was snow covered at the time of the inspection. With exception of the shop azea and boneyazd azeas, there was no activity at the mine site during this inspection. Roads Road surfaces site wide were snow packed. The majority of the mine site was not accessible due to drifted snow and icy-snow packed roads. An attempt was made to access the reclaimed Wolf Creek Area and Wadge Area pits. None of these mine site locations were accessible due to drifted snow and icy road conditions. Hydrologic Balance Ponds 002 and 003 were viewed. These sedimentation ponds were mostly frozen over and full. Both of these ponds were dischazging at the time of the inspection. The Truck Wash Ponds were holding water but not discharging. No problems were noted at any of the accessible pond locations. Ponds 004, 008, and the PECOCO Impoundment were not accessible due to drifted snow. The bone yazd azeas and the shop azeas were the only locations cleazed of snow. These locations were very muddy. Perimeter azeas at these locations were maintained and no problems were noted.
