September 10, 2014 C- 1982 - 057 /Seneca II -W Mine JHB <br />embankment was well vegetated. Diffuse knapweed was observed on the Pond 006 outslope embankment. (Photo <br />1) The knapweed was located on the south side of the embankment adjacent to the emergency spillway. SCC <br />needs to cut back the willows near the discharge flume. <br />Stock tank T -3 was holding a pool of water but was well below the discharge elevation. No problems were noted <br />with this stock tank. <br />Pond 016 was discharging clear effluent. The seep on the NE side of Pond 016 has been stabilized with large <br />rock. No problems were noted with this stabilization effort. The Stevens recorder on the Pond 016 flume had <br />been recorded at 9:15 on 9/10/2014, as discharge 0.03 and the chart paper replaced at that time. <br />Canada thistle has become established on the north side of Pond 016. This area should be included in SCC's <br />regular weed control efforts. <br />Repairs to the east side of Pond 017 are good and appear stable. Clods of dirt have sloughed in front of the <br />Culvert 18 outlet. (Photo) SCC needs to clear this dirt away. One extra CMP is located south of Pond 017. This <br />CMP should be removed to keep it from blowing or rolling around. <br />The artesian flow continues to express on the surface east of the previous well location. SCC has shaped this <br />spring area with rock. This is north of a fenced shrub plot. <br />Stocktank ST -1 was damp but not holding water. The embankment of stock tank ST -1 needs additional thistle <br />control measures. The risers are fine, vegetation on the embankment remains thin, leading to a slightly weedy <br />condition on the embankment. <br />Pond 9 was viewed through binoculars from the top of the ridgeline. No cattle were grazing at Pond 009 at this <br />time. One white horse was observed grazing below the pond 009 embankment. Pond 009 was not discharging, <br />and the water level was several feet below the discharge point on the riser. <br />Stock tank T18 was holding water. Stock tank T -18 appears in good condition. Cattle were grazing east of Stock <br />tank T -18. No problems were observed with drainage (southeast) of Stock tank T -18. <br />Stock Tank T -20 was not holding water, this stock tank was damp from recent rains but had a good stand of <br />cattails established in the bottom of the impoundment. No problems were observed with T -20. <br />Stock Tank T -22 has been brought into agreement with the approved design. T -22 now functions as a stock tank <br />instead of a rock dam. This repair is acceptable. <br />Pond 005 was not discharging. No concerns were noted with Pond 005. <br />Stocktank T -24 was well vegetated and not holding any water. <br />Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 2 <br />Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 1 <br />Page 3 of 10 <br />
