The mine was <br />actively producing and hauling coal. The we'~er was cool and clear and there <br />was about six inches of snow on the ground. <br />Both the Access road and haul road to the refuse pile were to good condition. They <br />were wet from the melting snow and the water appeared to be going Into the <br />roadside ditches. There was no visible damage to the roads from this run-off. <br />Pond 1 was in good shape. The water level was at the bottom of the discharge pipe. <br />Pond 5 was also in good condition. The water level in pond 5 was just below the <br />bottom of the discharge pipe. The weather made it impossible to see ponds 3 and 4. <br />Pond 4 was dry last month so there should be no problems with its ability to treat <br />water when the snow melts. <br />The refuse that has been "piling-up" on the active part of the refuse pile has been <br />spread and compacted. There was only a small amount of water on the pile, <br />despite the melting snow (most was observed to be running into the ditchj. There <br />was a motor grader that was stuck in part of the ditch but it did not appear as <br />though it would cause a problem with the ditch's ability to handle water. <br />There was about six Inches of snow covering the ground so It was not possible to <br />observe the part of the refuse pile that was recently seeded or the loadout. These <br />two areas should, however, benefit from the moisture. <br />
