Colowyo C-1981-019 <br />23 July 2008 <br />Pg 6/6 <br />General Mine Plan Compliance: - The 101 dragline is on the East Pit highwall <br />performing reclamation (although it was not actively working at the time of the <br />inspection. <br />- The 102 dragline was in the West Pit removing D-Seam overburden. <br />- The 103 dragline was in the West Pit removing D-Seam overburden. <br />- The 114 shovel was operating in the South Taylor box cut area. <br />- The 115 excavator was parked in the West Pit but was not operating. <br />Excess Spoil: - The reclaimed portions of the West Pit fill were all well vegetated and <br />appeared to be stable at the time of the inspection. There did not appear to be any <br />erosional problems on the fill at the time of the inspection. <br />- The Streeter fill was well vegetated and appeared to be stable at the time of the <br />inspection. No erosional problems were noted on the fill. This pile has gone through <br />a Phase II bond release. <br />- The Section 16 fill was well vegetated and appeared to be stable at the time of the <br />inspection. No erosional problems were noted on the fill. This pile has gone through <br />a Phase II bond release. <br />- The operator continues to work on the underdrain for the West Taylor Fill. They were <br />having problems getting good gravity sorting of the wing-dumped rock for the drain <br />so they stopped doing that. The operator is now getting large, competent rock out <br />of the Section 16 Pit spoil (directly east of the fill area). They are loading and hauling <br />rock down to a large pad just below the West Taylor Fill. A large LeTourneau loader <br />was being used to haul and place the rock in the underdrain. Once an area is <br />completed they will wrap it with the filter fabric and continue to build the fill.
