Burback for mining within 200 ft. of his home due to an oversight, but a new one has <br />been obtained and is contained within this TR specifically noting the current trench for <br />the future French Drain that is located south of his home. <br />3. The East Boundary Trench has never had a specific design developed as part of this <br />"emergency" mitigation plan to relieve upgradient mounding. However, the current <br />East Boundary Trench can and will be utilized as the ultimate DRMS required French <br />Drain location for this permit. At the time that the actual Phase 1 French Drain <br />construction is performed, ASCI commits to have the construction process and data <br />(elevations, placement of construction materials used, etc.) certified by a qualified <br />engineer. <br />4. The Resource Manager will be responsible for monitoring the condition and <br />functionality of the East Boundary Trench and will inform the Aggregates Manager at <br />the Speer site when maintenance of the trench is required. As shown on the cross - <br />section view of the trench, a maintenance platform 25 ft. in width has been <br />constructed alongside the trench in order to position a backhoe safely and efficiently <br />to clean -out any caved material from the sides and bottom of the trench. Photos and a <br />summary discussion of the maintenance performed to the trench and overall <br />condition and functionality will be supplied to the DRMS on a bi- monthly (once per <br />every two months) basis along with the water well monitoring data (static water <br />levels) of the two upgradient wells on Brighton Rd. The reporting will begin starting <br />October 1, 2014. <br />5. ASCI is currently finalizing the East Boundary Trench construction with final clean -out <br />of the base and sidewalls of the trench and ensuring that stability issues are resolved. <br />The trench has functioned as designed in the sense that no more mounding of <br />upgradient alluvial groundwater is occurring. The ultimate solution to maintaining the <br />lowered alluvial groundwater upgradient from the Speer site is to utilize the current <br />East Boundary Trench as the "bed" for the French Drain piping and to backfill the <br />trench. The trench cannot remain in its open condition to fulfill the functionality of <br />the final design to continuously relieve the upgradient mounding of groundwater, as <br />the maintenance and safety issues of an open trench do not make this solution <br />workable. It also limits the amount of developable land on this site that could <br />ultimately be used for a small housing development. ASCI is currently evaluating <br />options for completion of the backfilled French Drain design and construction. ASCI <br />will give the DRMS a completion date for Phase 1 of the French Drain and possible <br />design changes by October 15, 2014. <br />
