May 16, 2013 C- 1981 - 010 /Trapper Mine JLE <br />elevation was found to be consistently higher than the topography depicted on the Post Mine Topography Map and <br />the 2012 ARR Map. However, these differences are minimal and the general grade and slope of this portion of the <br />parcel approximates the approved post mine topography. This parcel blends in with the surrounding reclaimed <br />area. <br />Transect 6 was located across part of parcel F -A -12 where the former Flintlock Pit was located. There was an <br />error and when collecting Point F along this transect and no elevation data was recorded at this point. The 2012 <br />ARR Map and the Post Mine Topography map elevation cross - sections are almost identical with only minimal <br />differences. The measured elevation cross - section line was consistently lower than the cross- section line created <br />from the approved Post Mine Topography Map and the 2012 ARR Map. The differences in elevations measured <br />compared to the elevations interpolated from the maps was the greatest in this transect. This is likely due to error <br />from the GPS unit. The general grade and slope of this portion of the parcel approximates the approved post mine <br />topography. This parcel blends in with the surrounding reclaimed areas. <br />Transect 7 was located across a portion of parcels Z -A -12 in the former Flintlock East (Z) pit area. The measured <br />elevation cross - section is consistently higher than the elevation cross section lines derived from the approved Post <br />Mine Topography Map and the 2012 ARR Map. However the general grade and slope of the lines of these cross - <br />sections are very similar. This parcel blends in with the reclaimed area. <br />Transect 8 was located across a portion of parcels Z -A -12 in the former Flintlock East (Z) pit area. The <br />differences in the elevation cross - sections is very minimal. The general grade and slope of this portion of the <br />parcel approximates the approved post mine topography. This parcel blends in with the surrounding reclaimed <br />area. <br />EXCESS SPOIL and DEVELOPMENT WASTE — Rule 4.09; Placement; Drainage Control; Surface Stabilization: <br />Coal fly ash continues to be backfilled in the Ash Pit in accordance with the approved plan. <br />EXPLOSIVES — Rule 4.08 <br />Distance Prohibitions 4.08.4; Warnings 4.08.4; Control of Adverse Effects 4.08.4: <br />The blasting crew was drilling a shot in the active mine area. The blast warning signs were in place. <br />HYDROLOGIC BALANCE -Rule 4.05 <br />Drainage Control 4.05.1, 4.05.2, 4.05.3; Siltation Structures 4.05.5, 4.05.6; Discharge Structures 4.05.7, 4.05.10; <br />Diversions 4.05.4; Effluent Limits 4.05.2; Ground Water Monitoring 4.05.13; Surface Water Monitoring 4.05.13; <br />Drainage — Acid and Toxic Materials 4.05.8; Impoundments 4.05.6, 4.05.9; Stream Buffer Zones 4.05.18: <br />Impoundment H was holding water but was not discharging. This embankment appeared stable and vegetated and <br />the primary spillway was clear and functional. <br />Johnson l OR pond was holding water and discharging. The primary and emergency spillway was clear and <br />functional. The embankment was stable and vegetated. <br />Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 8 <br />Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 4 <br />Page 4 of 11 <br />
