,' IiI. Comments - Compliance Below are particular issues with regard to any of the compliance Items. Enforcement actions resulting from failure to comply with the Act, Rules and Regulations, and the permit also are identified below. 1. Several drainage concerns were noted this inspection, and will be discussed separately. a. Runoff from the portal pad area should flow south toward the drains at the base of the highwall. Two problems were noted in this area. The drain appeared clogged and a portion of the pad drains to the north over the outslope of the portal bench. This pad needs to be regraded or bermed to prevent water from flowing over the outslope. 'Phe drains on the pad need to be maintained. b. A small portion of the runoff from the breaker building area flows easterly into the emeryency spillway channel of pond MB 1t1. A berm or ditch should be placed along the channel's perl.meter in this area so that affected drainage is controlled. c. The culvert outlet at Station 46135 (adjacent to refuse pile) was obstructed. This culvert should be cleared. d. Runoff from a portion of the breaker building area, FW B1 pond outslopes and adjacent topsoil stocksile was designed to flow along the access road ditch to a cross-over culvert and eventually to pond MB N2. The cross-over culvert was clogged. Tlti.s resulted in water breaching the ditch and .f lowing over the road outslope north toward the river. The culvert needed to be cleared to allow the water to flow to pond MB H2. Any resultant ruling and gullying will need to be elevated this spring when snow cover is gone. , e. Runoff from an undisturbed area north of the topsoil ~,• stockpile was flowlny ovr_r the cue. ;lope of the mine accesa road (wesC of Che breaker building). The water was causing numerous rills on the cut slope. This water should be controlled and the rills stabilized.
