~' • ~ ~ ~ <br /> <br />~, j~ III. Comments - Com elian ce <br />Be_'ow are particular issues with regard to any of the above compliance items. En force.roent <br />actions resulting from failure to comply with t;:e Act, Rules and Regulations, and t.^.e oersiit <br />also are identified below. <br />l~drologic Balance (9.05) <br />1) Foidel Creek - the surface drainage from the haul road is now routed to flow into <br />the holding pond near. pond B rather than the creek. The culvert has been removed acid <br />the road will be further modified to drain directly into pond B. <br />2) The culvert conveying runoff beneath the haul road from the overburden pile no. 1 <br />colletor ditch to pond A is still about half clogged to 30 to 90 feet from the inlet. <br />Water impounded at the inlet makes conditions unfavorable for cleaning out the sediment <br />with heavy equipment. The operator plans to wait till the ground is frozen to clean out <br />the sediment. <br />3) The diversion ditch has been installed around tF,e overburden stockpile no. 2. <br />9) Hay bales have been installed beneath the Io:aer invert of the culvert er. Cension <br />draining area 20' u:~der haul road E. <br />5) sediment pond F has been constructed and is now functioning. The structure is <br />nearly certified. Diversions are nearly completed. <br />6) A diversion ditch has been constructed along the ton of the southern facinc reclaimed <br />slope in Area no. 1, right below the "dish" (bowl) in the slope. Ti~is route flows into ttie <br />channel which Leads to sediment pond N. Another ditch has been constructed alor:g the <br />contour (minimal gradient) about 3/4 of the way down the hill. A11 rills and diversion <br />ditches have been seeded. The installation appears to be adequate to control erosion and <br />gullying by reducing .slope length. <br />Topsoil (9.Ou) <br />Topsoil has been pushed bacf: from the failure identified in a previous inspection report <br />near the 7400 pit. <br />E::nlosives (-1.08) <br />Buildings nave been removed from the storage facility. A diversion ditch has bean <br />constructed which directs flow From the storage pad along the road to a water bar, <br />which conducts runoff through the berm into the natural channel and then into pond T. <br />Back filling and Grading (4.14) <br />T.4e haul road at 'fine ro. 2 has been reduced in width to the prover width for an access <br />rood. The whole mine has 'peen regraded and topsoiled. Tire mine has not been waded cue <br />to c'ecent sno~~~rs. <br />H~~v~°aetation 01.15) <br />Tre dra:e in area E31 has been topsoiled, graded and seeded. Contour ditches have been <br />excavated on the east side of the draw. The area has been reclaimed north of the upper <br />access road. <br />.S <br />
