I'm Chris wit with the Department of
Mines minerals and energy and this is
your mind safety minute today we're out
here on the impoundment right now we're
at the toe of the impoundment from this
location there are great many things you
can see when checking an impoundment you
can see the slope check it for excessive
vegetation growth any movement that
might have occurred or excessive water
runoff when we're checking impoundments
we always need to check the water
channels both the spillways and the
under drains make sure they're free of
obstructions anything that could impede
the flow of water if there is something
that has to be placed in a water channel
such as this gas pipeline it needs to be
approved as part of the plan constructed
accordingly and that way we can make
sure that in the event of water
discharge it will not impede the flow
