Pond 4 was only muddy in the southeast corner of the pond. Pond 001 is the mine water <br />discharge pond, located immediately north of the mine office. The pond water level about 4 <br />feet below the discharge point and water was not observed being pumped to the pond at any <br />time during this two day inspection. Two containments retain storm runoff from the West Mine <br />area. Containment area #1 is located immediately north of the topsoil borrow area as shown <br />on Map 14 of the approved permit. Sediment has been removed and stockpiled upstream of <br />the containment for removal to the development waste pile area. The operator should <br />complete removal of this material prior to the next State inspection. Containment #2 held a <br />very small amount of storm runoff. Three containments capture storm runoff from the RDA <br />conveyor/Highway 12 area. The two south of Highway 12 were dry but do appear to have <br />some sediment accumulation. The containment north of the highway and west of the <br />conveyor held a small amount of water but a more significant amount of sediment (see arrow <br />in photo below). The operator should evaluate the need to clean this containment in the near <br />future. <br />Processing Waste <br />Changes as requested by the Division in July at the west downdrain of the refuse disposal <br />area have been made to ensure that storm runoff enters the downdrain without ponding or <br />detention where the RDA access road meets the RDA pile surface. <br />4
