September 12, 2011 <br />C- 1982- 056!Foidel Creek Mine <br />JDM <br />6NM Sediment Pond Embankment Erosion <br />All spillways were functioning as designed with no problems noted. <br />Ditches and culverts throughout the mine site were functioning as designed. No problems were noted with the <br />exception of the following: <br />- The sump located south of the railroad tracks and south of Pond B has neared capacity in terms of sediment. <br />This sump should be cleaned when dryer conditions dictate to ensure adequate freeboard is maintained. <br />-The culvert at the intersection of the explosives area access road was damaged at the inlet. <br />-The culvert Located to the north of the ROM stockpile and behind the vent fan is 34 full of sediment at the inlet. <br />-The disturbance associated with the stability work located approximately halfway between the collection ditch on <br />the east side of the railway between the batch weigh loadout and the 24" culvert under the railway next to the <br />conveyor has generated erosional gullies and runoff into the collection ditch. This area needs to be repaired with <br />proper sediment control in place in the collection ditch and at the culvert. <br />-The material stockpile generated from the stability repair work will require the placement of sediment control <br />structures around the stockpile. <br />Please address these maintenance items on or before October 1, 2011. <br />Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 3 <br />Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 1 <br />Page 3 of 8 <br />
