November 20, 2012 C-1981-014/Southfield Mine JHB
A shallow puddle of water was held at the north end of Pond 5. Neither of the ponds showed any sign of having
discharged. Ditches throughout the site were dry.
There is a borehole located south of the RDA. A metal bucket has been placed over a PVC casing of this
borehole. The location of this hole appears to correspond with the Manly Mine borehole as shown on Map 12.
The Manley Mine was a historic mine located in the NW 1/4 of Section 30, T69W R20S.
GENERAL MINE PLAN COMPLANCE:
Several maintenance items have been identified in this inspection report. Proof of rehabilitation of MW-NW
needs to be submitted to the Division,
PROCESSING WASTE/COAL MINE WASTE PILES—Rule 4.10 and 4.11
Drainage Control; Surface Stabilization; Placement:
See discussion in the "Revegetation" section of this report for specific discussion regarding vegetation on the
RDA.
ROADS —Rule 4.03 Drainage 4.03.1(4)/4.03.2(4)
Surfacing and Maintenance4.03.1(5) and(6)/4.03.2(5)and(6)
Reclamation 4.03.1(7)/4.03.2(7):
A sediment fan south of the green gate has dried. Vehicle traffic is able to drive over this sediment fan. This
sediment fan and gate are outside of the permit area boundary. Much of the sediment appears to be coming from
an area west of the county road and north of the Southfield disturbance area boundary.
The county road south(within)the Southfield permit area continues to be in good condition. Water bars cut into
the road surface continue to direct runoff off the road and into the roadside ditches.
The Monarch fan access road still has a gully head cutting into the base of the road immediately south of the
permit boundary(within the permit) (photos). There are localized portions of the Monarch fan access road that
have limited rutting and erosion from previous precipitation events (photo). EFCI needs to maintain the access
road until the reclaimed fan achieves final bond release. Maintenance of the road and repair of the gully are
needed.
RECLAMATION SUCCESS -Rule 4.15, Rule 3:
A gully is starting to form on NW corner of truck tunnel. This feature was previously identified and brought to
EFCI's attention. (Photos). This feature needs repair. Sediment from this slope is deposited at the west end of the
truck tunnel. This area reports to Pond 5.
The proposed pinyon juniper reference area has not been delineated on the ground. The inspector attempted to
follow the outline of the proposed reference area using a GPS. The inspector followed the edge of the pinyon-
juniper area approximating the proposed reference area but found that a previously disturbed swath runs through
the area on the southern portion of the proposed area(Photo). The inspector followed the edge of the proposed
area along the western edge until a barbed-wire fence was encountered on the north side.
