The report also demonstrates compliance with Rule 4.05.9(17) for impoundments. <br />Observations are consistent with field observations noted during Division inspections periodically <br />throughout the year. <br />Waste Pile Inspections -The report meets the requirements under Rule 4.09.1(11) and <br />4.10.2(2). <br />We have no further questions or comments at this time.
