t Hydrologic Balance: TCC has not pumped from 1 ORT. The 4"dia. Water level hole has been completed at 1 ORT, and TCC uses a non-magnetic tape to measure the water level at this location. 6MN reservoir pump house construction has been completed and Jerry Nettleton indicated that the pump has been installed. TCC has not provided As-built certifications to the Division for this reservoir yet. Piping to the 6MN million gallon tank was being completed. 6MN sediment pond is frozen and not discharging, and the snow level in the pond is well below the discharge level. Most of the ponds throughout the mine site are frozen and not discharging. Pond D was discharging 0.4 on the staff gauge. Pit 1 was discharging to Pond D. TCC requests a winter exemption from MSHA for MSHA pond inspections for Pond A, D, and G. Fish Creek Bore Hole ponds were not discharging to Fish Creek at Site 115. But they were pumping water to the Fish Creek borehole treatment ponds. 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 pooling on the access road to pond B. TCC notified their surface contractor to direct the road runoff into the sump. TCC will investigate if the culvert is frozen and thaw to assure flow through the culvert. There was no evidence that this road runoff had flowed to Foidel Creek. The Truck Loadout drainage continues to be routed to Pond C but ice and snow have reduced the amount of runoff reporting to 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. Visual markers requested by the Division at the Train Loadout have been placed. TCC has placed"stream buffer zone" signs at the edge of the disturbed area. These are easily visible and should keep snow removal crews from encroaching on the stream buffer zone.

TCC is allowing refuse to drain at the southern end of the Existing RDA. TCC has not begun constructing the underdrain. Large and medium rock material is beginning to be delivered in order to commence construction of the underdrain. The mid- grade rock material is 2.5"4' cleaned river rock. The rock material has been delivered and is stored near the toe of the proposed refuse pile. 4 of 5 WHITE- File YELLOW-Operator PINK-Specialist
