Processing Waste <br />The Refuse Disposal Area (RDA) north of the highway was traversed on foot. Now that <br />equipment is at the site, the operator has created sumps at the top of the two downdrains <br />adjacent to the fill. These sumps were full of sediment from the recurrent storm events of <br />late. The 100-year ditch appeared in good condition but should be cleaned of rockfall and <br />sediment as ground conditions allow. Large sediment deltas are building up again at the foot <br />of each downdrain. Reshaping and reclaiming of the pile surface will assist in minimizing <br />storm runoff and erosion. <br />Suaaort Facilities <br />The operator was loading the "grasshopper conveyors" located along the main access road <br />onto flatbed trucks for removal from the site. These structures are included in the cost <br />estimate and those removed are eligible to be included in any future bond release. Other <br />facilities remain unchanged since the last inspection. <br />Subsidence <br />The collapse hole at the West Mine appears now to have a bottom at about six feet below <br />the surface. The protective fence has fallen over and should be repaired as soon as <br />possible. <br />Overall, the site appeared in compliance and good condition for the summer season. <br />
