Sunday Mine <br />Next we inspected the Sunday Mine. Halogeton was the weed most commonly seen across the <br />site.. Puddles were observed in several locations and all of the settling ponds were full or <br />partially full, but there was no sign of blowouts of other storm water management failures. In <br />one location at the northwest edge of the clump, deep rills had developed on the waste dump <br />where the berm at the top had been breached a few weeks back, but the berm had been repaired <br />and was functioning once again. It looks as though any erosion was captured by the settling <br />ponds below. The available volume left in the ponds should be determined, and they should-be <br />mucked out on an as-needed basis. A loader was on site at the time of the inspection. The <br />housekeeping issues addressed in the 4/20/2010 inspection were taken care of. <br />Old junk in the form of the scrap metal, equipment skeletons, tires and drums were observed in <br />the northwest corner of the waste dump down low near the settling ponds. This is different from <br />the junk identified in the 04/20/2010 inspection. This material is probably the artifacts of <br />previous operators. It should be cleaned up eventually, but is not a pressing issue. The grizzly <br />and compressor identified in the old inspection report were still present, but the oil by the <br />compressor had been cleaned up. The buildings all appeared to be secure. The portal was <br />mucked shut and locked. <br />Figure 16: East end entrance to Sunday Mine <br />Page 12 of 34
