III. COMMENTS - COMPLIANCE <br /> Eagle Mines C:-1981-044 <br /> 19 June 2009 <br /> Pg2/2 C � <br /> Hydrologic Balance (cont.): - Sediment Ponds SH-P1 and SH-132, by the old farm shop, <br /> were both dry at the time of the inspection. Both embankments were well <br /> vegetated and appeared to be stable. No erosional problems were noted on either <br /> pond embankment at the time of the inspection. <br /> - Sediment Pond 5A-P1, just below the 5A portals, was dry at the time of the <br /> inspection. The pond embankment was well vegetated and appeared to be stable. <br /> No erosional problems were noted on the pond embankment at the time of the <br /> inspection. The ditch from the 100,000 gallon water tank above the portal bench <br /> was also dry and appeared to be stable as well. <br /> - Sediment Ponds 9-P1 and 9-P6, by the newly permitted solid waste disposal area, <br /> were both dry at the time of the inspection. These ponds collect the runoff from the <br /> solid waste disposal area and the adjacent refuse pile. Both pond embankments <br /> were well vegetated and appeared to be stable. No erosional problems were noted <br /> on either pond embankment at the time of the inspection. <br /> Backfilling and Grading: - The backfilled #4 portal area appeared to be stable at the <br /> time of the inspection. There was no noticeable settling and there were no erosional <br /> problems. <br /> - The solid waste disposal area appeared to remain stable. There was no settling or <br /> cracking of the backfill noted at the time of the inspection. The area was well <br /> graded and reports to a sediment pond. <br /> Processing Waste: - The refuse pile by the solid waste disposal area has been <br /> covered, topsoiled and reseeded. The area is well graded and drains to the <br /> adjacent sediment ponds. There are no problems with rills due to the recent rains. <br /> The grasses are growing very well because it has been very wet lately. <br /> - The other refuse pile just north of this one also remained stable. This, pile appeared <br /> to have positive drainage and there was no water pooling on the surface of the pile <br /> at the time of the inspection. <br /> Support Facilities: - The 5A portal area appeared to be in good condition at the time <br /> of the inspection. No erosional or other problems were noted. <br /> Revegetation: - The reseeded solid waste disposal area is doing well. Many of the <br /> grasses are now starting to come up and there are fewer weeds than there were last <br /> year. <br /> Overall the Eagle Mine is in good condition. This concludes the 19 June 2009 <br /> Inspection report for the Eagle Mine. <br />
