Operations were active <br /> during the time of the inspection. <br /> The sediment containment system for the King Coal 1 Mine was functioning as designed, evidence of <br /> affected area drainage escaping the area prior to treatment was not observed. <br /> The large sediment pond contained approximately four inches of water. The embankment appeared <br /> stable with no evidence of seepage, slumping or erosion. Primary and secondary spillways appeared <br /> clear and functional with no discharge noted. <br /> The small sediment pond was wet but contained no standing water. The embankment appeared <br /> stable with no evidence of seepage, slumping or erosion. Primary and secondary spillways appeared <br /> clear and functional with no discharge noted. <br /> Drainage from the short portion of the mine entrance/haul road located outside of the sediment pond <br /> treatment area is treated for sediment by three small sediment traps with filter fabric.
