Roads
King I —The main access/haul road was found in excellent condition. A drainage swale, as shown on
Map C-4, is located between the East and West sediment pond. This Swale prevents storm runoff from
leaving the site by diverting this runoff from the lower yard area into the East sediment pond.
King 11-The haul/access road was well maintained. Haul truck traffic was significant on this day with
many trucks using the entrance for staging while waiting to be loaded with coal.
Hydrologic Balance
King 1 Ponds - The east and west ponds continue to hold small pools of water, several feet below the
principal spillway discharge elevations. The outlet end of the secondary spillway IF pipe)of the west
pond remained exposed (soil had been removed from it during the October 2008 inspection).
The east and west -
sediment ponds
work together to "eo
treat storm runoff
from the disturbed
area. An eight inch
PVC pipe(shown
at right) connects
the West pond to
the East pond and
is designed to
adequately treat
runoff in
accordance with
Appendix I I of the
approved permit.
The West pond -
emergency spillway
(sharp crested weir)
has also been
recently re-built. If this.work is now complete, the operator should re-certify this structure to ensure
that work has been completed in accordance with the approved design.
