Mitigation of rills on slope north of the gravel parking area at the reclaimed portal.
Rill mitigation on the NW corner of the Truck tunnel,

PROCESSING WASTE/COAL MINE WASTE PILES—Rule 4.10 and 4.11❑ Drainage Control; Surface
Stabilization; Placement:
The South and East sides of RDA are fine,no rill formation was observed. The West and North sides of
RDA are fine.No problems were observed with the permanent ditch around the RDA. Vegetative cover on the
west and north portions of the RDA is good.
ROADS—Rule 4.0311 Construction 4.03.l(3)/4.03.2(3)❑ Drainage 4.03.l(4)/4.03.2(4)11 Surfacing and
Maintenance4.03.1(5) and(6)/4.03.2(5) and (6)❑ Reclamation 4.03.1(7)/4.03.2(7):
The County road and access roads throughout the reclaimed mine were snow covered. There were no
other vehicle tracks leading into or out of the mine site. Mr. Carroll indicated that it had snowed over the weekend
(12/9/12),
Due to the snow cover,the inspector did not attempt to drive to the Monarch fan. EFCI has not provided evidence
that the gully forming on the lower(northernmost)portion of the monarch fan access road has been repaired yet.
RDA access road,north and south portions remain in good condition. No problems were encountered on these
two portions of roadway. Waterbars cut into the access road and the Southern portion of Fremont county road 92
appear to be functioning well to guide runoff into roadside ditches and minimizing potential rutting of the
roadway.
REVEGETATION—Rule 4.15❑ Vegetative Cover; Timing:
Vegetation throughout mine is dry and dormant for the winter months. The RDA does not show evidence
of rill or gully formation. Vegetation throughout the reclaimed mine site and load out appear stable.
SUBSIDENCE—Rule 4.20:
Previously reported subsidence holes in the NE 1/4 Section 25,T20S, R70W,have been repaired;
backfilled,graded, seeded and mulched. No new features have been reported.

to be submitted to the Division.
