The weather was clear and warm. The ground was slightly muddy. HYDROLOGIC BALANCE -Rule 4.05: The culverts under the road at the mine site were generally in good condition. All pipes appear to be functioning. No flow was observed in either the south set of culverts or the north set. There is minor erosion at the downstream side of the north set of culverts and one of the pipes of the southern set is almost buried at the downstream side. At the loadout,the pond contained a significant amount of water,and a very small discharge was observed exiting the primary spillway pipe. No compliance issues were identified with the pond. The following areas were inspected:the embankment,both spillways,and the channels below the spillways. As before,willows and some burrows were observed on the embankment,but these issues do not pose an immediate threat to the stability of the embankment. The ditch along the southwest side of the loadout contained several inches of water. GENERAL MINE PLAN COMPLANCE: The mine site and loadout were found to be in general compliance with the permit. ROADS—Rule 4.03: The roads were well graded and ditches appeared to be functioning. Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 1 Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 0 Page 2 of 5
