Downstream Slope: There is no damage from livestock, erosion or gullies, cracks, displacement, depressions, <br />bulges, slides or other damage to the downstream slope. <br />Seepage: There is no indication of seepage from the pond. <br />Outlet: There aze no problems with the outlet of the pond. <br />Spillway: There are no problems with the spillway of the pond. <br />Inlet: There is some erosion at the inlet, but it has been stabilized by vegetation (see picture). <br />Overall Condition: The overall condition of the pond is good. No conditions appear to threaten the safety of the <br />dam and the dam is expected to perform satisfactorily under designed conditions. <br />(iii) The extent to which existing impoundments or earthen structures were constructed and certified in <br />accordance with prudent engineering designs approved in the permit; <br />Impoundments: Do certified as-builts exist and are they available? Where? <br />Design information is presented on pages 138 and 139 of the permit. A seazch of available files found no <br />certified as-builts. <br />**Waste Piles: Do engineering designs exist along with pictures of the construction of the underdrain? Where? <br />No engineering designs were found with regazd to the coal mine waste piles. The one above GCR 117 appeazs <br />to be an end-dump (track-way) on the hill side. <br />** Are quarterly PE inspection reports and proctor density test results available for inspection? Where? <br />No inspections or density test results are available. <br />(iv) The degree to which erosion and sediment control is present and functioning; <br />Do all disturbed areas drain to permanent ponds or impoundments? If not, describe those areas that do not. Is <br />a sediment pond necessary? <br />All disturbed areas except for the air shaft north of the portal sites drain to the existing sedimentation pond. The <br />sediment pond that once captured runoff from the disturbed azeas below GCR 117 has been reclaimed. These <br />lower disturbed areas are well vegetated, and there is no visual indication that sediment is being transported to <br />the receiving stream above that of undisturbed azeas. <br />Describe any mechanical treatments to the reclaimed surface (furrowing, terracing, imprinting, pitting, ripping, <br />etc.) <br />The azea of remedial reclamation of the collapse behind the air portal was deeply pitted prior to seeding., as was <br />the former crib wall area. This treatment has worked very well. <br />
