Eagle Mines C- 1981 -044

Pg2 /3
Hydrologic Balance (cont.): - The spoil spring along the access road on the west side
of the mine (SP -01) was discharging a trickle at the time of the inspection (the
discharge was well less than 1 GPM). This spring discharges and flows directly into the
Williams Fork River.
- Sediment Ponds 9 -P7 and 9 -P8, by the old B &S building, were both dry at the time of
the inspection. The pond embankments were all well vegetated and stable and
there were no signs of erosion.
- Sediment Ponds SH -P1 and SH -P2, by the old farm shop (just above the 5A portals),
were both dry at the time of the inspection. Both embankments were well
vegetated and appeared to be stable. No erosional problems were noted on either
pond embankment.
- Sediment Pond 5A -P1, just below the 5A portals, was dry at the time of the
inspection. The pond embankment was well vegetated and appeared to be stable.
No erosional problems were noted on the pond embankment at the time of the
inspection. The ditch from the 100,000 gallon water tank above the portal bench
was also dry and appeared to be stable as well.
- Sediment Ponds 9 -P1 and 9 -P6, by the solid waste disposal area, were both dry at
th;e time of the inspection. These ponds collect the runoff from the solid waste
disposal area and the adjacent reclaimed refuse pile. Both pond embankments
were well vegetated and appeared to be stable. No erosional problems were noted
on either pond embankments.
- Sediment Pond 9 -P2 was dry at the time of the inspection. This pond is on the east
side of the mine. The pond embankment was well vegetated and no erosional
problems were noted.
Backfilling and Grading: - The backfilled #4 Mine portal remains stable. There is no
noticeable settling or cracking of the backfill. There were no erosional problems
noted on the backfilled slope.
- T ' he solid waste disposal area also remains stable. There was no settling noticed in
the fill material (which is covering demolition debris) and no erosional problems were
noted. There was a small dozer slot cut in the area for the disposal of a small amount
of additional debris. It is assumed that this will be backfilled immediately upon filling
the slot with the debris.
Processing Waste: - The refuse pile by the solid waste disposal area that was covered,
topsoiled and reseeded this summer remains stable. The area is well graded and
drains to the adjacent sediment ponds (9 -P1 and 9 -P6). There was no standing water
on' the pile and no erosional problems were noted.
- The refuse pile west of the reclaimed pile was stable. There was no water pooling
on the surface at the time of the inspection. The pile will remain open for possible
future use.
