Joe Shoemaker indicated that the mine received a new pump and that a drill rig had been on site,but it was not clear whether or not the pump had been replaced. There was a large pile of pipe and a roll of electric cable by the well site. The pored embankments were well vegetated and stable. No erosional features were noted on the embankments. - Sediment Pond 5A-P1 contained a small amount of water and was not discharging at the time of the inspection. The;pond embankment was well vegetated and stable and no erosional problems were noted. -Culvert 26(on the main haul road by the spoil spring)was clear. -Culvert 2 (on the west side of the old entrance road)was clear. -Culvert 3 (on the east side of the old entrance road)was clear. -Culvert 5 (on the south side of the haul road under Hwy 13)was clear at the inlet side but was approximately half full of sediment at the outlet side. This culvert needs to be cleaned. - Culvert 4(on the north side of the haul road under Hwy 13) was clear. -Culvert 37(the first culvert entering the substation just east of Hwy 13)was clear at the inlet side but was approximately half full of sediment at the outlet side. This culvert needs to be cleaned. -Culvert 32 (the second culvert entering the substation just east of Hwy 13)was clear. -Culvert 19(the culvert at the"Y"to the refuse piles)was clear on the inlet side and was crushed at the outlet side. This culvert needs to be repaired. -Culvert 7 (the culvert above the"Y"to the refuse piles)contained some sediment at the inlet side and was clear at the outlet side.
