and on Exhibit E of the Phase I bond release application. With exception of the limited areas noted <br />below that require maintenance, backfilled areas have remained stable. <br />The 2006 Rill and Gully Survey was reviewed and all azeas identified on the survey were inspected in <br />June 2006 (see inspection report date 06/27/06) and during the Phase I bond release inspection. A <br />couple of problems were identified in the field. One feature is identified as a sump neaz the top of the <br />former Wolf Creek Pit, This appeazs to be a blast hole that did not get properly backfilled. It is <br />located along the fence line due south of PM-6B. It is about 18 inches wide and appeazs to be <br />approximately 20 feet deep. As discussed with SCC, this will be repaired by backfilling. One other <br />location is the slide area south of the PECOCO Pond. A seep is evident in the same general vicinity <br />of the slide and these features aze likely associated with the location of the former highwall, <br />Groundwater discharge from the highwall may have caused the slide. There is some exposed soil and <br />vertical relief in the slide azea. There is an older slump above the location of the recent slide that <br />appeazs to be stabilizing. An approximate slope of 34% was measured perpendiculaz to the slide from <br />the base of the slope up to the older slump azea. Both the sump/blast hole and the slide azea near the <br />PECOCO Pond are considered maintenance items that will need to be repaired. Neither of these <br />features will be excluded from Phase I bond release, but they will continue to be monitored and SCC <br />will need to make repairs. <br />All permanent road sections were evacuated and inspected as part of the Phase I bond release <br />inspection, since permanent roads are considered part of the post-mining topography and final grade. <br />The inspection consisted of visual assessment of the entire road length for each permanent road. The <br />width of road surface and the percent grade along road profiles at select locations were measured. <br />The locations of width and percent grade measurements taken during this inspection aze the <br />approximate same locations shown on Exhibit 13-2A of the PAP for the as-built road cross-sections. <br />Permanent roads were narrowed to the present configurations and road edges seeded following a <br />DRMS inspection that focused primarily on the proposed petmanent roads in June 2005 (see <br />inspection report dated 06/30/05). Road narrowing and reconfiguration was completed by the fall <br />season of 2005. As-built information for permanent roads was verified. All of the DBMS <br />measurements taken were consistent with the as-built data provided by SCC. The as-built road cross- <br />sections for all permanent roads indicate a road width of 20 feet with exception of Road E where the <br />as-built width at section E-E' is given on Exhibit 13-2B as 24 feet. All DRMS grades measured <br />along road profiles were below the maximum road grades required by Rule 4.03.2(3). The <br />measurements taken during the Phase I inspection are tabulated below. <br />Road Cross-Section Reference Location Width Grade <br />El E1#1-E1#1' 23 feet 4% <br />E1 E1#2-E1#2' 20 feet 5% <br />F F-F' 20 feet 5% <br />C C-C' 20 feet 7% <br />South Road SR-SR' 21 feet 6% <br />E E-E' 24 feet 2% <br />]0 <br />
