All of the topsoil from the new expansion area has now been removed and <br /> either placed on the outslopes of the pile or placed in one of the topsoil <br /> stockpiles. Both topsoil stockpiles have been graded and have had drainage <br /> containment structures built around them Seeding of these piles is <br /> scheduled for the second week in October along with the seeding of the <br /> outslopes of the pile. <br /> The rock underdrain has been completed to the northern end of the refuse <br /> pile area. A walk around of the entire pile indicated that all diversion <br /> ditches and ponds are in good working order. <br /> The entire refuse pile area appears to be structurally sound. There was no <br /> ponding of water anywhere on the pile, No evidence of sloughing or settling <br /> was observed, <br /> Rock Tunnel Waste Disposal Facility <br /> At the time of inspection, the Rock Tunnel Waste Pile was being utilized <br /> only for the placement of cleanings from the lower ponds.

This <br /> practice prevented any possible ponding of water on top of the pile. <br /> The trash pile located due east of the tunnel waste pile was receiving <br /> waste material from the mine. This material is periodically pushed with a <br /> dozer and co^ipacted <br /> All diversion ditches and ponds were examined and found to be in good <br /> working order <br /> No evidence of structural instability was observed anywhere on the pile. <br /> Old Refuse Pile <br /> At the time of inspection topsoil was being trucked to the top of the pile <br /> Topsoil had been spread over one and one half acres of the upper portion of <br /> the pile, Rills and gullies were being smoothed out by a dozer prior to the <br /> placement of the topsoil. <br /> A walkaround of the pile area indicated that all diversion ditches and <br /> ponds were in proper operating order. No evidence of ponding was observed <br /> on the pile. <br /> Structurally, the pile appeared to be in sound shape. No tension cracks or <br /> evidence of sloughing was observed anywhere on the pile. Rills and gullies <br />
