RDA expansion Topsoil salvage..........................................Sediment control measures for 6RT underflow drill pad Ponds throughout the mine site are frozen and not discharging. Repairs to Pond D embankment and riser have been completed. TCC will need to submit to the Division an as-built certification for Pond D to document the repairs were conducted in accordance with the approved design or provide a letter to the Division documenting the repairs conducted and certified by the engineer. Pit 1 was discharging to Pond D. And Pond D was discharging 0.25 on the staff gauge. Discharge was clear and no problems noted. TCC r�g a winter exemption from MSHA for MSHA pond inspections for Pond A, D, and G.& h MN I�-6- Fish Creek Bore Hole ponds were not discharging to Fish Creek at Site 1 I5. FCBH was not pumping to the barricade chamber.Nor was FCVS pumping occurring. TCC personnel noted that 10 days previous water level measured at the FCVS recorded 29.83 feet of freeboard. The Million Gallon tank at the PM Bay had spilled over and had ice build up on the side at the time of the inspection. As a result of the Million Gallon tank spill over, Pond G showed evidence of discharge. Pond F was frozen and snow covered but did not appear to contain a pool of water. Pond B was frozen and not discharging. Haul road runoff that runs into the Pond B pad area was passing through the culvert and into the sediment trap as designed. This set up is working well. The Truck Loadout drainage is flowing to Pond C. Downcutting of the slope has occurred. TCC will need to address this downcutting, though everything is contained in Pond C. TCC will also need to watch how snow is cleared from the truck Loadout area to assure that flow continues to be directed to the appropriate location. Train Loadout coal overfill material has been pushed up and will be hauled to the refuse pile. Visual markers requested by the Division at the edge of the stream buffer zone have not been placed. Although the stream buffer marker is in place, additional definition of the buffer zone is needed to assure winter activities in this location do not encroach into the buffer zone. 4MB WHITE-File YELLOW-Operator PINK-Specialist
