September 28, 2011 C -1994 -082 /Yoast Min e SLB <br /> <br /> <br />Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 5 <br />Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 1 <br /> <br /> Page 3 of 7 <br /> <br />All repair work in the Pond 012 slide repair area has been completed in accordance with the approved plan, with <br />the exception of seeding of the south slope. The area will be se eded next year, after a year of observation to <br />ensure that repaired slopes remain stable. <br />The operator regra ded a small settling crack on the east side of the YPM 5 -1 drainage. It did not appear to have <br />been seeded yet, and should be reseeded this fall. <br /> <br />Scarp regrading of the Neck Pit slide area was complete, but needed to be seeded. Seeding needs to be completed <br />this fall. The operator had constructed toe drains in the slide area, but they will need to b e reworked for positive <br />drainage. The current configuration retains three low spots where water will pool and cause the slide area to <br />resaturate. The operator will need to achieve a lower grade so that water runs from the slide into the Haul Road A <br />ditch . It might be necessary to construct a subsurface drain since excavation to the required depth would result in <br />either a deep, steep -sided trench or require removal of a large amount of material between the ditch and the slide. <br />Removal of the toe material to drain the low area would not be recommended as this material is currently <br />buttressing the slide. <br /> <br /> <br />ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS/COMPLIANCE <br /> <br /> <br />No enforcement actions were initiated as a result of this inspection, nor are any pending.
