September 28,2011 C-1982-057/Seneca II-W Mine SLB <br /> construction of the underdrains. <br /> The LU-2 road slide area was stable. The operator eliminated and reclaimed the LU-2 road this past summer; <br /> grading,topsoil replacement, and seeding have all been completed. Grasses were germinating in the reclaimed <br /> corridor. <br /> The pumphouse slide repair was complete. Two toe drains have been installed;both were dry at the time of the <br /> inspection. It is possible that the base of the slide above the rock drains may have been oversteepened;the <br /> operator should monitor these areas and grade as necessary if sloughing occurs. <br /> The oil well slide repair has also been finished. The entire slide was regraded, and a rock buttress was placed at <br /> the base on the east end of the slide. Water was flowing from the newly constructed toe drain. This repair also <br /> may be too steep and may require further grading and possible westward extension of the rock buttress. The <br /> operator indicated that this area was left fairly steep in an effort to minimize disturbance of the reclamation <br /> upgradient of the slide. Further monitoring is warranted and repairs and/or additional buttressing should be made <br /> as necessary. <br /> The repaired MEHR slide area remained stable. Repairs to this slide were complete in June and included <br /> lessening of the road embankment(coincident with road corridor reclamation)and installation of a toe drain. <br /> ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS/COMPLIANCE <br /> No enforcement actions were initiated as a result of this inspection,nor are any pending. <br /> Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 6 <br /> Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 1 <br /> Page 3 of 5 <br />
