The mine is activey producing, processing, and <br />shipping coal. <br />Refuse had been recently placed in at least three different areas on the refuse pile. A <br />haul truck was hauling a load of refuse to the pile. ft did not appear that any refuse <br />had been recenty greded or compacted. The ditches around the refuse pile appeared <br />to be functioning, in that there was no standing water visible. Reclaimed portions of <br />the refuse pile appeared stable, and no erosional features were observed. <br />All of the ponds on sRe held water, but none appeared to be full enough to discharge. <br />Since Pond 5 held water it was not apparent whether the operetor had completed <br />dredging the pond. A considereble amount of sediment had been placed adjacent to <br />Pond 1 to allow it to dry prior to placement on the refuse pile. A loader appeared to be <br />working in the sediment drying area, but what it was doing was not apparent. <br />tiaWiMld AYrrCdt~14 Nvwm6w 6, ttli7 <br />
