May 9, 2013 C- 1996 - 083 /Bowie No. 2 Mine SLB <br />Gob Pile 3 was idle at the time of the inspection; the operator indicated that additional topsoil resources had been <br />recently salvaged in the area, and ditch construction was still underway. <br />TOPSOIL — Rule 4.06E Removal 4.06.2; Substitute Materials 4.06.4(4); Storage and Protection 4.06.3; <br />Redistribution 4.06.4: <br />Additional topsoil material had been recently placed in the Gob Pile 3 topsoil stockpile. There is still <br />topsoil to be salvaged in the stockpile area of Gob Pile 3, as well. The operator indicated that there will continue <br />to be hay production in this area until the gob pile area is fully developed for disposal. At that time, the remainder <br />of the topsoil would be stripped as necessary to accommodate additional cover fill storage. <br />Blocked drainage ditches on Gob Piles 2 and 4 were causing water to pool at the base of the topsoil stockpile <br />between Gob Piles 2 and 4 (bounded by ditches F -9, F -13, F -14, and F -17). The topsoil stockpile should be <br />protected from water erosion, as required by Rule 4.06.3(2). The topsoil stockpile and immediate area should be <br />regraded to ensure protection of the topsoil resource. <br />ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS /COMPLIANCE <br />Infraction Number: CV2013004 <br />Inspection Date: May 9, 2013 <br />Date issued: May 15, 2013 <br />Primary Topic: Processing Waste <br />Secondary Topic: Hydrologic Balance <br />Tertiary Topic: Topsoil <br />Description: Failure to construct Gob Pile #2 in a controlled manner to ensure stability of the fill; failure <br />to control surface water runoff on Gob Pile #2 and Gob Pile #4. <br />Abatement #: 1 <br />Abatement Due Date: 6/28/2013 <br />Abatement Description: Place and compact all existing end - dumped material on Gob Pile #2 in <br />accordance with the Rules and approved permit application package. <br />Abatement #: 2 <br />Abatement Due Date: 6/28/2013 <br />Abatement Description: Remove cover fill material from ditches D -F5 and D -F6 and repair or reconstruct <br />all lateral ditches on Gob Piles 2 and 4to ensure positive drainage as designed in the approved permit <br />application package. <br />Abatement #: 3 <br />Abatement Due Date: 6/30/2013 <br />Abatement Description: Conduct quarterly inspections of Gob Pile #2 in accordance with all of the <br />requirements of Rule 4.10.2, beginning with the second quarter of 2013. <br />Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 13 <br />Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 3 <br />Page 4 of 15 <br />
