Psa~~ ~e~C~o C'3'/-vii <br />`~'S~ fU.~ ~~ <br />- Pond DP-1 contained water at a level just below the discharge pipe. The pond was <br />discharging at the time of the inspection. The pond embankment was well <br />vegetated and appeared to be stable. There were no erosional problems on the <br />pond embankment. The emergency spillway was well maintained and stable. <br />- Ponds SS-1 and SS-2 were dry at the time of the inspection. The pond embankments <br />were well vegetated and appeared to be stable. There were no erosional problems <br />on the pond embankment. <br />- Pond PP-2 is a pond used in the coal washing plant. It contained water but was not <br />discharging. The pond embankment was well vegetated and appeared to be <br />stable at the time of the inspection. There were no erosional problems on the pond <br />embankment. <br />-The rail loop pond (pond RR-3) was dry at the time of the inspection. The pond <br />embankment was well vegetated and appeared to be stable at the time of the <br />inspection. The entire pond embankment was walked were no erosional problems <br />noted. <br />-The ditch from the prep plant bench to pond DP-1 appeared to be stable at the <br />time of the inspection. There did not appear to be any erosional problems in the <br />ditch. <br />-The roadside ditches along the mine access road, the conveyor corridor and the <br />haul road to the refuse pile appeared to be stable and well maintained. These roads <br />were all walked and the ditches appeared to be in functioning as designed. <br />- The ditches along the road to the slot storage area were stable and well <br />maintained. <br />-The SAE's at the Return Shafts all appeared to be functioning as designed. <br />-All of the culverts under the refuse pile haul road and the conveyor corridor service <br />road were clear and appeared to be functioning as designed. <br />Processing Waste: Refuse Pile RP-1 was well vegetated and appeared to be stable at <br />the time of the inspection. The entire pile was walked and no problems were noted. <br />- Refuse Pile RP-2/3/4 is currently being used for refuse disposal (although none was <br />being dumped or spread at the time of the inspection due to the longwall move). <br />There was no water pooling on the top of the pile and there did not appear to be <br />any springs or seeps coming from the pile. Much of the gullying on the east and <br />north sides of the pile has been repaired. There is a "berm" of refuse along the outer <br />edge of the pile that needs to be graded and blended with the rest of the pile so <br />water does not pool behind it. <br />- Refuse from the temporary stockpile was being spread on Refuse Pile RP-Sa by one <br />scraper and one dozer (the others were sitting idle). A water truck was actively <br />watering the pile so there was not a problem with fugitive dust. Approximately 75% of <br />the stockpile has been spread and compacted. Scott Wanstedt said that they were <br />having trouble finding drivers (experienced or otherwise) for the other scrapers so the <br />spreading was taking longer than anticipated. The pile appeared to be stable at the <br />time of the inspection. There was no water pooling on the top of the pile and there <br />did not appear to be any springs or seeps coming from the pile. The entire perimeter <br />and surface of the pile was walked and no problems were noted. <br />Support Facilities: Return Shafts 1, 2 and 3, the West Mains Vent Shaft and the B-Vent <br />shaft were all inspected. <br />
