This mine has closed and reclamation of most areas <br />is complete. I was unaccompanied on this inspection. <br />Hydrologic Balance <br />l ~ /~ <br />Reclaimed portal I / <br />area - I~ <br />~~~ 8 ~-. <br />.. , <br />~.' ` ~• ' . <br />Reclaimed purai area, Souti~field A4uie August 20L'4 <br />Both Pond 5 and Pond 4 were holding small puddles of water. Embankments and spillways <br />appeared in good condition. Recent runoff has not resulted in excessive down-cutting of the <br />ditch into Pond 5 Riprap added in the last 6 months has arrested development of a gully at <br />the inlet. The Magpie Creek Diversion ditch shows signs of passing recent storm runoff <br />without incident. Vegetation and nprap seem to work well together in stabilizing this ditch. <br />
