The mine had received a light dusting of <br />snow the preceding day. The Southfield Mine is a reclaimed underground mine. As such, no mine personnel <br />remain on site. <br />PROCESSING WASTE /COAL MINE WASTE PILES — Rule 4.10 and 4.11 Drainage Control; Surface <br />Stabilization; Placement: <br />The RDA was inspected for surface stability and vegetative cover. Surface owners have voiced concern over gully <br />formation on the RDA. The entire perimeter of the top of the RDA was walked with focus on erosional features <br />and gullies. No gullies were found on any of the slopes of the RDA. A short drainage feature was identified on <br />the east side of the RDA. This feature was pin flagged at the top and bottom. The feature consists of a drainage <br />area approximately 12 feet long by 2 feet wide by approximately 0. 83 feet deep. (Photo 1) <br />Rule 4.14. requires regrading or stabilization of rills and gullies, when erosional features disrupt the approved <br />postmining land use; prohibit successful revegetation; or contribute to a violation of water quality standards for a <br />receiving stream. This small drainage feature does not meet any of these criteria. Healthy grasses are observed <br />growing in the bottom of this feature and no sediment is observed downslope from this feature, implying that this <br />feature is not active and is stabilizing. The operator and Division will continue to monitor this drainage feature. <br />Numerous small burrowing animal mounds are also found in this low area on the RDA. These bare soil mounds <br />are not a result of erosion, but of animal activity (voles or gophers). There is no evidence that these mounds are <br />washing into the collection ditch or contributing sediment to sediment pond No. 4. <br />The RDA has a good cover of grasses with four -wing saltbrush on the south and west sides of the pile. <br />Transplanted shrubs and trees remain small. Some of the juniper transplants appear stressed by their reddish <br />coloration. This could be due to cold temperatures or droughty conditions.
