Inspection Summary:
Penny Markle and Melissa Joyner met with Mr. Duncan Parker, Assistant Manager for A & H Mine for a compliance

the SPPP with signature and date to reflect that there had been no updates.
A tour was conducted of the facility grounds, including observations of Outfalls A-F. All outfalls were discharging clear water.
The facility was informed that basin Fs baffles required maintenance. Overall the facility appeared to be well maintained and
operated at time of inspection.
