Colowyo C-1981-019 <br /> 18 March 2009� <br /> Pg 7/7 �� <br /> Air Resource Protection: - The haul roads in the East Pit, West Pit and South Taylor Pit <br /> were all dry at the time of the inspection. There was some dust coming from the <br /> roads but the operator was running a water truck. <br /> Excess Spoil: - The current active dump area for the South Taylor Pit is the C-C' <br /> underdrain area of the East Taylor fill. The overburden is coming from the B2-Seam <br /> overburden. The fill has advanced to almost the crusher bench (which will be <br /> relocated). The piles of spoil that had been dumped in the bottom of the fill area <br /> have now been covered as the pile has advanced. The current fill area is in two <br /> separate lifts. One of the lifts has reached its maximum height and the other lift is <br /> approximately 50-feet below its maximum height. The fill appeared to be stable at <br /> the time of the inspection. <br /> - All of the snow has melted off of the Streeter Fill. The fill was well vegetated and <br /> appeared to be stable at the time of the inspection. As with the rest of the <br /> reclamation on the site, the vegetation on the fill was already beginning to turn <br /> green. No erosional features were noted on the fill from the runoff from the <br /> snowmelt. This fill has undergone a Phase II Bond Release and quarterly inspections <br /> have been terminated. <br /> - The West Pit Fill was well vegetated and stable at the time of the inspection. The <br /> vegetation is already starting to turn green. All of the snow has melted off of the West <br /> Pit Fill and there were no erosional problems noted as a result of the runoff from the <br /> snowmelt. This fill has undergone a Phase II Bond Release and quarterly inspections <br /> have been terminated. <br /> - The Section 16 Fill remains inaccessible. <br /> Availability of Records: - All of the necessary records were available in the records <br /> room in the office building. Please see the Availability of Records form at the end of <br /> this report for more detailed information. <br /> This completes the 18 March 2009 inspection report for the Colowyo Mine. <br />
