All appropriate information was displayed. Topsoil markers were in place <br />and easily identified. <br />4.03 Roads <br />Roads were well maintained. There has been a recent block fall (or slide) along <br />the haul road between the L•'ruita N1 bench and Fruita N2. A block of sandstone approxi- <br />mately I2 feet (FI) x 6 feet (w) x 2 feet slid about one foot into the road and separated <br />into several fragments. Apparently the rock had dislodged due to freeze and thaw <br />action. A11 litter has been cleared from the roarl af~d no damage was done to any <br />portion of the drainage'system. <br />Culverts were all in good shape. Discharge structures at the ends of culverts are <br />effective in dissipating energy. There was very little evidence of scour at discharge <br />points. <br />Ditches were fairly clean. Some vegetation is growing in drainage ditches but <br />it doesn't appear to be creating much of an obstruction. <br />9.04 Support Facilities <br />The only facilities at the site are office trailers, shop, conveyors and a wash <br />plant. R11 aspects of these facilities are in compliance on the ground. <br />The Ioadout is located several miles from the mine. Coal is not being loaded <br />out from this facility. Sedimentation control at the Zoadout is pending approval <br />through the application review and permitting process. <br />4.05 Hydrologic Balance <br />The precipitation recently received produced Little obvious effects <br />at the mine. Very little water accumulated in the ponrls and there were no indications <br />of recent Flow in diversion or collection ditches. <br />Recent groundwater monitoring records indicate an anomalous increase in iron <br />concentratuib at CM-I compared to past conditions. This .increase was accompanied <br />by slight increase in pH, EC, ds and ss. DerreZ intends to resample this well in <br />the near future for verification of these conritions. <br />
