Aerial photographs were taken on January 30, 2012 at approximately <br />2:45 p.m. Mike Boulay of the DRMS reviewed the aerial photographs. Weather conditions appear to be clear <br />and sunny at the time of the flight. Seven photographs were taken during the flyover. The South Portals area, and <br />the CRDA waste disposal sites (CRDA -1 and CRDA -2) are the only portions of the mine site that are visible in the <br />photographs. The site was partially snow covered. There was no activity discernible in the photographs. <br />SUPPORT FACILITIES - Rule 4.04: <br />The CRDA waste disposal sites are shown in Photograph No. l attached to this inspection report. The South <br />Portals area including the Roadside South Refuse Disposal Area is shown in attached Photograph No. 2. The <br />location of former Pond 8 (recently reclaimed) can be seen in Photo No. 1. All three refuse disposal areas are <br />stable and appear to be very well maintained. <br />The mine site roads visible in the photographs adjacent to Coal Creek are clear of snow cover and appear to be in <br />good condition. The road up to the shop and warehouse at the South Portal was in good condition. There was no <br />activity at the South Portal as the fruit stand and warehouse remain closed for business at this time. The facilities <br />areas and perimeter locations visible in the photographs were all very well maintained and appeared to be in good <br />condition. <br />All site locations appeared stable and no significant erosion or other problems were identified with this aerial <br />inspection. <br />Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 5 <br />Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 2 <br />Page 2 of 5 <br />
