Hydrology
There was only a little standing water in the east side sediment pond. The pond embankment was very well
vegetated. Pond inslopes and outslopes were stable. The pond's primary discharge pipe valve was closed. There
was sufficient capacity in the emergency spillway. The west side dugout pond was dry. The open combination
spillway had sufficient capacity.
Collection ditches around the loadout site were functional. Straw bales and silt fence were in place along the
railroad track small area exemption. Some of the straw bales and silt fence were new.
Topsoil Stockpiles
The east topsoil stockpile had a good vegetative cover on it. The collection and diversion ditches protecting the
stockpile were in place. The topsoil signs were up on the stockpile.
The west topsoil stockpile also had a good vegetative cover on it. The protective berm around the stockpile was
in place. Topsoil signs were up on this stockpile as well.
Signs and Markers
Mine identification signs were up at the main entrance,east entrance and along the side road adjacent to the
railroad tracks.
Roads
The paved entrance road was in good condition. There was a little mud that had been tracked onto the highway
from the haul trucks but it was no problem. The east side graveled entrance road was in good condition. The east
side gate was open. The light use dirt road that runs along the railroad tracks was passable.
Facilities
There were no problems observed at the substation,material storage area, loadout office and the coal handling
structures. The crusher/screener was in operation and coal was being loaded into one railcar. There were no
signs of fugitive dust. A front end loader was moving raw coal into the grizzly. This was creating a little
localized dust but it was no problem.A semi was being fueled up at the fuel station and there were no fuel leaks.
Noxious Weeds
The operator sprayed for white top recently.
