Generally pond embankments and spillways appeared in good condition. Some erosional features <br /> exist on site. Treatment of these features includes filling gullies with branches and installing straw bales or wattles. <br /> Also, some sediment traps required maintenance. These items are on the operator®maintenance list for <br /> dispatching as soon as possible. <br /> The slurry injection system is currently not in use. However,recent discussion with DRMS for mitigating <br /> excessive pond volumes may authorize the utilization of this system to reduce pond volumes in Ponds 7 and 8 <br /> o Stream Buffer Zone appeared adequately marking the exclusion. <br /> o Containment area 1,held significant water but was not discharging at time of inspection(photo 1). <br /> o Pond 4 holds some water but vegetation obscures the water level(photo 3). <br /> o Ditches observed appeared in good repair with no erosion issues. <br /> o Culverts observed appeared clear of debris and functioning properly. <br /> o Best management practices for erosion control: sumps,wattles and silt fences observed appeared in good <br /> repair and functioning properly. <br /> Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 1 <br /> Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 0 <br /> Page 4 of 10 <br />
