which facilities belong to the utility and where connections are made that separate ownership <br />for the various segments of power lines. When the utility provides the updated site <br />information, it will be included in future information provided to the Division, and will also <br />be reflected in the final reclamation plan for the St. Jude Mine. <br />Dumps• <br />The existing waste dump at the St. Jude site is essentially one continuous feature <br />extending across the entire site. This configuration does not match the proposed <br />configuration as presented ion the 1978 map on file with the Division. The expansion of the <br />dumps occurred under previous operators; the current Operator has not expanded any of the <br />dumps on this Permit. <br />A limited amount of topsoil appears to have been salvaged at the St. Jude site. [n the <br />southeast corner of the site, a pile of local soil and fine material has been dozed up; in <br />addition, a low pile of soil-like materials extends out from the west end of the pile. The <br />Operator estimates that the topsoil stockpile contains approximately 600 yd3. The western <br />extension of this pile will add more material to this inventory. Although clearly an <br />insufficient amount of topsoil has been salvaged for complete site coverage, the limited <br />quantities available will be beneficial. <br />Containment berms have been excavated along the downhill side of the waste dump. <br />These berms are effective in controlling offsite sediment transport; the structures are stable <br />and vegetated. <br />In November 2002, the Operator dished the top of the waste dump to prevent washouts <br />from occumng over the edge of the dump. The dump is stable and no washouts are present. <br />Also in November 2002, the Operator scarified a few minor spots of oily soil as a <br />remediation measure. <br />Affected Area. <br />The Affected Area boundary shown on the existing file map does not encompass all of <br />the disturbances associated with the St. Jude Mine. The Operator proposes to modify the <br />Affected Area boundary as shown on the 1' = 100' map. The proposed revised boundary <br />encompasses all disturbed areas associated with the St. Jude Mine Permit. The proposed <br />boundary will also accommodate final reclamation activities. Upon reaching agreement with <br />the Division on the St Jude Mine Affected Area boundary, the boundary will be marked in the <br />field to resolve the outstanding Corrective Action item. <br />The Proposed Affected Area totals 10.0 acres. <br />Historical Sites. <br />Near the eastern edge of the 1" = 100' map is a 24" vent hole. This historical <br />installation is stable and hard to find. There is no discernible road into this site. The location <br />is marked by a single steel post. The top of the hole casing is at ground level and is covered <br />by a steel plate and old timbers. There is no power to this site. The site has sparse vegetation <br />and is indiscernible from the surroundings. <br />Another historical vent shaft occurs on the slope above the access road. The access <br />road into the site is barely discernible. The vent location is marked by a steel post, and the <br />Operator has placed a "Danger" sign at the vent as some sloughing is occurring around the <br />vent collar. There is a steel riser on the hole, but it has no covering. Sparse vegetation is <br />present, but the site is otherwise stable. <br />2 <br />
