Skies were partly cloudy and a light wind blew. Temperatures hovered at 50 degrees <br />F. The mid term review was discussed and DRMS requested that an application for a minor revision be submitted <br />to DRMS. Upcoming vegetation sampling dates, protocols and methodology were also discussed. <br /> <br />Maintenance items from the March 2016 inspection were revisited and discussed. The records check was deferred <br />to next month so that documents and maps discussed today could be updated and a complete inspection conducted. <br />PERMITTING UPDATE <br />A midterm review of the permit was conducted by DRMS and submitted to the operator in January of 2016. <br />DRMS received a response in February of 2016 and is still awaiting an application for a minor revision from <br />the operator and, or Mr. Mike Savage to address topics resulting from the review. <br /> <br />MAINTENANCE ITEMS OUTSTANDING from PREVIOUS INSPECTION <br />March 2016 <br /> <br />1. Repair fallen marker at the west edge of the permit as per Rule 4.02. <br />2. Map 5-7 boundary discrepancies will be corrected. To resolve this item, please submit <br />an updated map to DRMS, as per Rules 2.10.1 and 2.10.3. Also, place one in the <br />records at Goff Engineering. <br />3. The slump at south- southeast slope of stockpile #4 appeared stable and it <br />appeared that appropriate vegetation was greening and filling in. This item is <br />resolved. <br />4. Transmitted debris along the Ewing Mesa Road as shown in Photo 3 must be mitigated <br />as per Rule 4.03.2. Sediment movement should be monitored and the source <br />area of the debris identified and stabilized. <br />5. On east side of the Southeast Pasture Road identify source area of the debris , <br />stabilize and mitigate. Also, runoff channel should be stabilized and mitigation <br />performed as per Rule 4.03.2. (Photo 4).
