These are acceptable for temporary measures. The flume needs to be reinstalled correctly as soon as <br />conditions allow. There are remains of a horse (hooves with horse shoes observed) north east of Pond 10 <br />embankment. <br />Pond 14 was still ice covered and not discharging. Snow was still covering the Pond 14 embankment. Snow still <br />covered YPM -14, so no observations could be made regarding the integrity of this drainage. Portions of YPM 3 -2 <br />and YPM 3 -2A that were visible looked good, with no apparent down - cutting or breaching. Rock gabions appear <br />to have held up well. <br />Pond 13 was discharging 0.25 on staff gauge in the flume. The discharge was slightly cloudy. And the pond was <br />still partially covered with ice /slush. Salamanders (mudpuppies) were observed swimming in pond 13. <br />Pond 12 A was free of ice, and held a cloudy pool of water. Pond 12A was not discharging. The water elevation <br />in Pond 12A was approximately 2 feet below the riser bottom. <br />Pond 12 was almost free of ice, and was discharging. This flume is not level, making flow measurement in the <br />flume inaccurate. Vegetation was also present within the flume. The flow was approximately 1" deep in the <br />deepest part of the unlevel flume. <br />There was a gully beginning to form on the east side of drainage YPM -5 -1. This gully has formed upslope (south) <br />of the first surge tank south of Pond 12A. <br />ROADS — Rule 4.03 <br />Construction 4.03.1(3)/4.03.2(3) <br />Drainage 4.03.1(4)/4.03.2(4) <br />Surfacing and Maintenance4.03.1(5) and (6)/4.03.2(5) and (6) <br />Reclamation 4.03.1(7)/4.03.2(7): <br />The main access road, LU1 and LU3A were fairly firm and drivable all the way to Culvert YB -6. After <br />culvert YB -6, road LU -3A was snow covered and soft. The inspector did not drive on the snow covered road. <br />Road side ditches were functioning well and draining run -off to appropriate drainages. No breaching of the road <br />ditches on the main access road was observed. <br />Runoff from the north pit is beginning to downcut the crossing over culvert YB -6. SCC needs to monitor this and <br />repair if flow continues to downcut this bank (photo). <br />Road LU -313 was inaccessible due to snow cover and muddy conditions. LU 5 and LU4 were too soft to try to <br />drive on. <br />Repairs to gullies along the main access road in 2014 were holding up well (Photo). <br />Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 6 <br />Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 3 <br />Page 3 of 10 <br />
