If,while completing this report,you learn that your site is not in compliance with the rules and the <br /> act, it is advisable that the issues be rectified promptly to avoid possible enforcement action. <br /> SUMMARY NARRATIVE: The permit was revised by Technical Revision(2010)and Amendment(2011)that typifies <br /> the remaining fill, site prep,reclamation,and warranty circumstances at play over the permitted lands. Approved <br /> reservoirs have had their perimeter's graded,soiled and seeded in prior reporting years. Impacts from flooding in <br /> 2013have been mitigated. Principle activity in 2014 completed grading along the northeast portion of the location and <br /> interseeding of resoiled areas. Completion of fill and grading to restore the ditch segment that intersects the parcel was <br /> completed in 2013-14, further identified as Area 3b,as shown on the included map. <br /> Weeds in 2012-13 were predominantly white top,an annual that is mechanically controlled along seeded slopes of <br /> reservoir perimeters as needed,and which appears less prevalent after treatment,and sparse in 2015. <br /> Reclamation is anticipated to near completion with the final resoiling and establishment of vegetation surrounding Areas <br /> 3a&3b for 20116-17. This should limit future reclamation to the cost of interseeding areas where vegetation does not <br /> express itself within a three year period from the date of planting and justify significant warranty reduction. Post use of <br /> recycling materials and related stockpiles will continue as part of post reclamation activity and final end use. <br /> 1.
