remains active at this time. The West Portal fan area is permitted for demolition debns prior <br />to highwall elimination and is also active and un-reclaimed at this time. <br />Sediment control for the regraded areas being evaluated is relatively simple Ditch D27 is <br />constructed downgradient from the regraded area of Warehouse #1 and diverts runoff in a <br />west to east direction to West Mine containment #2 Immediately upslope from the <br />Warehouse #1 area. ditch D28 diverts runoff, also to containment #2. from regraded areas of <br />the hoist house. trolley yard, and West Portal garage. A permanent ditch was constructed on <br />the regraded surface and diverts runoff from disturbed and upland areas to containment #1 <br />located adjacent to the topsoil borrow area. This channel extends ditch D30 through areas <br />where the long culvert C23 was removed. <br />'' .: .~ <br />,~ <br />e ~L <br />Two issues were identified during the inspection. A short piece of silt fence controls runoff <br />from the reclaimed slope north of warehouse #1 and below ditch D27 where a walkway was <br />located. This section of silt fence requires repair due to wind and weather Also. culvert C25 <br />exists immediately above the natural drainage adlacent to containment #2. However, the <br />culvert inlet is buried under the regraded surface and the culvert serves no practical purpose. <br />Once all demolition debris is removed and before vacating the site. the operator should <br />remove this culvert to finalize the permanent drainage. <br />
