The inspection began at gob pile #2. The top of the pile looks great. <br />Gob was being hauled, dumped, placed and compacted while on site. <br />Next, was the top of gob pile #4. The top bench has been graded, <br />topsoil placed, seeded and finished with an erosion control mat and <br />waddles. The plan is to finish reclamation on the west half of the pile <br />by late fall /early winter. Riprap transitions from bench ditches look <br />very good and have functioned well with recent rain events. <br />Temporary culverts T -F4 & F5 have not yet been installed, but the <br />channel lining has been ordered and they will be installed as soon as <br />possible. <br />Since gob piles 2 & 4 have been combined north of topsoil stockpile E, <br />access has been eliminated from the top. To access topsoil stockpile <br />E, the topsoil has been carved out of the bottom of the pile. In order <br />to grade the pile to properly shed water over winter months, and to <br />continue to have access to the stockpile, the topsoil from the very top <br />will be moved down to the bottom of the pile. <br />At gob pile #3, the final trench was being dug for the vibrating wire <br />piezometer installation. Three of the four (A, B & D) planned <br />piezometers of the were installed. Piezometer C will be installed at a <br />later date. <br />The East end of gob pile #3 looked very good. Gob was being <br />compacted, and trucks were able to drive out on it without any <br />problems. <br />All Ponds except K held water. <br />Containment structures have been installed at each pond to hold gas <br />& oil products that are incidental to the pumping operations. <br />Containment structures are in place at Ponds B, C, F & J. <br />2 <br />
