<br />MINE SITE EVALUATION INSPECTION REPORT <br />Blue Ribbon Mine <br /> <br />PAGE 8 <br />Coal refuse material removal activities at the storage area just west of <br />the haulroad gate entrance resulted in the deposition of refuse material <br />against the side of the stockpile and on top of it at its southern end. <br />No significant mixing of the refuse material and topsoil was evident. <br />It appeared that the refuse material could be removed successfully if <br />reasonable care was exercised in doing so. The MLRD was contacted and <br />informed of the need to remove the material as soon as possible. <br />Mr. Liddle confirmed the completion of most of the remedial work during <br />his inspection the week of November 29. He stated that the coal refuse <br />material had been satisfactorily removed from the topsoil stockpile and <br />that the stockpile edge was lined with large rocks to prevent additional <br />disturbances. Ditchlines were established around the stockpile's <br />western edge and the storaye area to oromote drainage to pond 4. In <br />addition, all drainage control improvements had been completed except <br />for a section of ditchline along the portal bench. <br />
