Site inspection was conducted as a routine inspection.

Facility plans to increase their disturbed acreage but is not adding any permitted acreage to the facility.

No erosion issues noted at time of inspection. Drainage at the site is controlled through basins or BMPs. Drainage from all the areas currently disturbed is directed to treatment pond 2. Water is pumped from the mine void in the northeast portion of the site to treatment pond 2 as needed. The heavy solids area allowed to settle in treatment pond 2 prior to being pumped to treatment pond 1, where Outfall 001 is located. The water is pumped through a chemical mixing tank and treated as it is pumped into treatment pond 1.
