It appears the concrete supporting the v-notch weir has been <br />repaired, water had been short circuiting the weir as a result of an animal burrow. However a new animal burrow <br />was observed near the concrete. Since the pond was not discharging it is difficult to determine if the new concrete <br />has fixed the short circuiting issue. The embankment was stable and vegetated and the primary and emergency <br />spillway was clear and functional. <br /> Ditch F-1 north of the P.M. Bay needs to be repaired and positive drainage to Pond F needs to be re- <br />established. <br />The wastewater treatment ponds were observed. Each pond was holding water and the embankments were stable <br />and vegetated. <br /> <br />Pond F was not discharging. The embankment was stable and vegetated. The primary spillway was clear and <br />functional. <br /> <br />Pond E was holding water but was not discharging. The first cell in the Pond is scheduled to be dredged out this <br />summer. The embankment of the pond was stable and vegetated. The primary and emergency spillway was clear <br />and functional. <br /> <br />Pond D was holding water and discharging. The embankment was stable and vegetated and the delta formed at the <br />pond inlet is scheduled to be cleaned in the near future. The primary and emergency spillway was clear and <br />functional. <br /> <br />Pond B was holding water and discharging. The embankment was stable and vegetated. The spillway was clear <br />and functional. The sump above Pond B and the first cell of Pond B is scheduled to be dredged in the near future. <br /> <br />The drainage around the BOB pile was walked. The buffer zone signs adjacent to the drainage have blown off. <br />TC was constructing new buffer zone signs while I was on site. <br /> <br />Pond T was holding water and a small trickle of water was discharging from the v-notch weir. The embankment <br />was stable and vegetated and the primary and emergency spillway was clear and functional. <br /> <br />The 6MN facilities sediment pond was holding water but was not discharging. The embankment was stable and <br />vegetated and the spillway was clear and functional. <br /> <br />The Area 1 pond was holding water and appeared functional. <br /> <br />Pond C was damp but was not discharging. The majority of the embankment was well vegetated and stable. The <br />southeast portion of the embankment near the trail loadout has sparse vegetation established. Also an area where <br />it appears a small amount of fill material has been placed at the toe of the embankment on the north side of the <br />embankment has sparse vegetation established. The primary and emergency spillway of the pond appears to be <br />clear and functional.
