February 18, 2014 C- 1981- 044/Williams Fork Mines JLE <br />According to Mr. Watterson, a significant amount of snow fell in the area a week prior to the inspection. While a <br />large amount of this snow has melted the majority of the ditches and low lying areas were covered in snow. <br />Pond HR -P la was holding a small amount of water. Pond HR -lb was dry. Both of the embankments were stable. <br />The inlet culverts 5 and 27 appeared to be clear and functional. The discharge gate was closed and the pond was <br />not discharging. <br />Culvert 31 was clear and functional. <br />Culvert 63 was under snow. <br />Pond 5 -P3 was holding some snow. The pond embankments were stable and vegetated the outlet culverts were <br />partially snow covered. <br />Pond 5 -P2 was holding some snow but overall appeared functional. <br />Ponds 5 -P5, 5 -P6 and 5 -P7 were each holding a small amount of water and snow. The ponds were not <br />discharging. The embankments were stable. <br />The spoil spring that discharges from outfall 022 was discharging from the v -notch outfall. However, the water <br />flows over an embankment and the small scour basin at the base of the embankment catches the water. Given the <br />snow conditions, it would be difficult to say if the water discharging from the spring was reaching the river. <br />Pond 9 -P7 was holding some snow and was otherwise dry. The discharge gate was closed but appeared <br />functional. The embankment was stable. <br />Ponds 9 -P8, 9 -P6, 9 -P4 and 9 -P1 were holding some snow but were otherwise dry. The embankments were stable. <br />Some minor rilling was observed on the slopes of pond 9 -P 1. <br />Pond 9 -P2 was holding a small amount of water and snow. The embankments appeared stable. <br />Pond 9 -P3 was holding a small amount of snow but was otherwise dry and not discharging. <br />Pond 9A -P3 was holding water but was not discharging. The embankment was stable. The emergency spillway <br />was snow covered and functional. The primary spillway mechanism has a large shrub growing around it. The <br />shrub will need to be removed from the spillway mechanism. <br />Pond 9A -P2 was holding a small amount of snow. The embankment was stable and vegetated. The primary <br />spillway gate was closed but appeared functional. <br />Pond 9A -P 1 was holding a small amount of snow. The embankment was stable and vegetated.
