Material was in the process of spreading at the <br />time of the inspection. The RDA was well compacted and stable at the time of the inspection. The refuse material <br />had not yet reached the head of the under -drain of the RDA. The exposed under -drain was stable and constructed <br />as designed. Phase 1 of the RDA expansion is nearing completion. TR67 was approved with a stipulation that <br />future bonding for each phase of construction will be required prior to the initiation of the next Phase. No <br />problems were noted at the RDA, with the exception of the following: <br />- erosion gullies were observed on both the east and west slopes of the RDA into the RDA expansion area.
