Basil Bear represented Bowie Resources. <br />Hvdroloev <br />Ponds 1, 2, 3 and 4 were dry. The same was true for the ROM pile pond. There was a little water <br />in the highway coal stockpile pond, the train loadout pond and the West Mine pond. All pond <br />embankments were stable. All pond dischazge systems were functional. <br />The culvert at the entrance to the West Ridge waste pile had been pulled out and needs to be <br />replaced. For now, the temporary ditch is working. The straw bales at the drop inlet on the <br />crusher\screener bench need maintenance. The rest of the culverts azound the mine site were <br />functional. All of the ditches azound the mine site had sufficient capacity. <br />Topsoil <br />At the West Mine, the silt i:ence on the bench south-facing outslope needs maintenance. Also at <br />the West Mine, the silt fence just east of the main topsoil stockpile needs maintenance. These <br />two maintenance items should be done before winter snow sets in. All of the topsoil stockpiles <br />had moderate to good vegetation. There were no signs of erosional problems. <br />~.. Roads <br />All of the roads were passable and in good shape, although there were several moderate size <br />rocks on the road leading from the fan level to the cap and powder house level. <br />Signs and Markers <br />Mine ID signs were present at the appropriate locations. Topsoil stockpile signs were also <br />present. Surface disturbance markers were up azound the mine site. <br />
