Please also be advised that sedimentation pond operations must be in full compliance with all requirements of the NPDES permit If problems are identified in the field, the Colorado Water Quality Control Division will be contacted and enforcement actions may be pursued. The pond embankment appeared to be stable. The emergency spillway was functional. At the time of the inspection, the primary discharge gate valve of pond B was securely closed. The water level eras just below the primary irnert. The pond B embankment was stable and the emergency spillway was functional. The operator may want to drain out any remaining water from the primary discharge tubes of ponds B and C, so that the water trapped behind the discharge gate valve won't freeze and damage the valve or tube. The operator has constructed the gob pile pond. The pond's as-built certification is needed soon. Topsoil The operator needs to place a topsoil sign on the larger topsoil pile next to pond B. The operator has begun work on the new gob pile so a new topsoil pile is being constructed just to the east of the future gob pile. No gullying was seen on any of the topsoil stockpiles. The silt fence at the main topsoil stockpile will need some repair soon, although it is still functional. Facilities The operator continues to construct facilities at the portal bench and to drive the mains. The anal that is being extracted is being screened at the portal bench and loaded onto haul trucks by a front end loader. Most of the coal is being trucked to the Bowie No. 1 loadout. A small amount of coal is being trucked to the Terror Creek loadout and shipped out as stoker coal. The operator reported that about 1000 tons per day of coal are being trucked off site. The operator is using single load coal trucks with a 30 ton capacity each. If the operator wishes to use tandem load haul trucks, a special trucking permit would be required. The concrete floor of the warehouse has been laid. The office trailer has been moved to the portal bench area. The operator has not obtained a Colorado Health permit for the sewage treatment plant yet. According to the operator, this permit needs to be obtained even before the plant can be purchased. The operator stated that the sewage treatment plant will be self-contained, with the discharge going through a pipe that will be under two turns of the main haul road and emptying into the draw that drains ultimately into pond B.
