III. COMMENTS- COMPLIANCE Below are comments on the inspection. The comments include discussion of observations made during the inspection. Comments also describe any enforcement actions taken during the inspection and the facts or evidence supporting the enforcement action. investigating treatment options for this location, due to previous WET test excursions. TORT borehole#2 is not discharging or pumping to 6MN reservoir. Fish Creek Vent Shaft (FCVS) was being pumped to Pit 1. TCC has constructed a housing over the FCVS. TCC reports 21 ft. of freeboard in the SWMD at the FCVS. Pit 1 elevation has reached the discharge elevation at Site 7 that is flows to Pond D. Pond D was discharging approximately 0.22 on the staff gauge at the time of the inspection. The discharge water is clear with no oil sheen. Ponds are thawing out and beginning to discharge. Fish Creek Tipple Pond is discharging. TCC is scheduling WET test for lst quarter. The weir is still under snow and ice so a flow measurement was not collected. 6MN Reservoir has not been connected to waterline,nor have the pumping facilities been constructed at 6MN reservoir. No Mine water has been pumped to 6MN yet. The only water contained in 6MN reservoir are a result of snow and snowmelt. 6MN impoundment was ice covered by thawing. Approximately 3 ft. of freeboard remain at the 6MN impoundment. 6MN million gallon tank is not yet connected. Fish Creek Borehole ponds. Mine water was being pum to FCBH ponds at the time of the inspection. This water is being treated at the FCBH facili and recirculated in the Mine water handling system. No discharge was occurring at site into Fish Creek. Pond B was ice covered but discharging to Foidel Creek. The flume remains snow covered. Flow measurement was not collected due to snow drift. TCC is scheduled to sample this site. Coal fines BOB area trap is full and needs cleaning out. Fall maintenance of the RR track culverts is allowing drainage to flow through western culvert to pond B. This is minimizing the retention and pooling of water on the South side of the RR. This should help this area dry up faster this Spring. TCC will need to check the oil collection berms once the ice melts off of the pond. Pond T remains ice covered. The lowest weep hole on the riser was visible approximately 1 ft. above the ice level, so Pond T is not discharging. Pit 1 is flowing to Pond D. Pond D is discharging clear at 0.5 on the12" Baski Flume. Pond E is discharging approximately 2" on the V-notch. Discharge is clear. Pond E is still ice covered. Pond F was not discharging and is still ice covered. A snow drift still covers Pond F outfall structure. Pond G was discharging and is still ice covered. Pond C is holding a pool of water but well below the discharge elevation. The Million Gallon Tank at the PM Bay was overflowing at a trickle at the time of the inspection. Better management of the water level in this million gallon tank is needed. 4 of 7 WHITE- File YELLOW-Operator PINK-Specialist
