July 26,2011 C-1981-012/New Elk Mine JDM <br /> was holding a small amount of water at the east end. The primary and emergency spillways were stable with no <br /> problems noted. The pond is fenced and the embankments displayed minimal vegetative growth due to the recent <br /> construction of the pond. Pond 008A is the RDA pond and was dry at the time of the inspection. The <br /> embankments were stable and the primary and emergency spillways had no problems noted. Pond 007A was <br /> holding water and the primary spillways valve was closed. The pond embankments were stable and no problems <br /> were noted. Pond 006A was holding water at the time of the inspection. According to Bobby Steele of NECC,the <br /> pond is scheduled to be lined and fenced. No problems were noted. Pond 004A was holding a small amount of <br /> water. The pond embankments were well vegetated and stable with no problems noted with the primary or <br /> emergency spillways. All ponds were functioning as designed with no problems noted with the exception of the <br /> following: <br /> -Pond 004A is delineated on Map I as being removed. This is incorrect and all maps that delineate Pond 004A <br /> as being removed will need to be revised to reflect the most up-to-date information. <br /> All ditches and culverts throughout both the mine site and the Jansen I-oadom off site facility were stable and in <br /> compliance with no problems noted with the exception of the following: <br /> - The RDA containment ditch displayed several low spots along the entire ditch. These low spots will need to be <br /> maintained to ensure proper flow direction and containment throughout the length of the ditch. <br /> -Displacement of rock rip rap on the east down drain of the RDA fill has occurred. This displacement has caused <br /> down cutting between benches 3 and 4 and immediately next to and below bench 2. The down drain will need to <br /> be reestablished to ensure that no further down cutting is occurring. <br /> Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 0 <br /> Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 1 <br /> Page 3 of 11 <br />
