The weather was clear and cold. <br />The ground was partially snow-covered on the north -facing slopes. Vince Massarotti was present for all of the <br />inspection. <br />EXCESS SPOIL and DEVELOPMENT WASTE — Rule 4.09 <br />Placement; Drainage Control; Surface Stabilization: <br />Fills 7, 8, and 9 were inspected; all were generally in good condition. There were no signs of instability or erosion <br />on the faces. <br />HYDROLOGIC BALANCE - Rule 4.05 <br />Drainage Control 4.05.1, 4.05.2, 4.05.3; Siltation Structures 4.05.5, 4.05.6; Discharge Structures 4.05.7, 4.05.10; <br />Diversions 4.05.4; Effluent Limits 4.05.2; Ground Water Monitoring 4.05.13; Surface Water Monitoring 4.05.13; <br />Drainage — Acid and Toxic Materials 4.05.8; Impoundments 4.05.6, 4.05.9; Stream Buffer Zones 4.05.18: <br />The following ponds were inspected: 6, 7, 8, and 9. None of them were discharging. Their embankments and <br />spillways were in good condition. As mentioned before, a rill next to the emergency spillway for Pond 6 should be <br />repaired. <br />The top of the Pond 8 embankment is bare. However, re -vegetating this area may be difficult due to animal traffic. <br />NECC should consider how this could be accomplished, and if it is worth the effort. <br />Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 7 <br />Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 2 <br />Page 2 of 6 <br />
