Pond 007 will be maintained after reclamation as requested by the landowner. The demonstration <br />that this pond retention is in compliance with Rule 4.05.9(13) is included in Attachment <br />2.05.3(3)-16 Demonstration for Retention of Pond 007. <br />Monitoring for rills and gullies on the pond and other reclaimed slopes will be carried out on a <br />periodic basis; the monitoring being geared to those periods after spring snow melt and during <br />required quarterly pond inspections. <br />Occurrence of excessive rills and gullies will result in implementation of the following plan. <br />One of, or a combination of, the following options and corrective methods will be employed: If it <br />is determined that the topography of the regraded area is such that drainage is concentrated in a <br />particular area, then this area will be improved to accept the runoff. In areas where no natural <br />armoring is present, the drainage bottom or channel will be reshaped, if needed. The channel <br />bottom will be seeded, covered with erosion matting and seeded, or rocked. The method used <br />will, of course, depend on site conditions. Continued observations will be made of this area for <br />problems or necessary maintenance. <br />On slopes where no swale or defined channel exists, regrading, or disking, or chisel plowing will <br />be performed, depending on the extent of the erosion. Reseeding will then take place. <br />In addition to the above, contour furrows in and above the erosion area may be constructed to <br />trap and slow down the runoff. Straw dikes can also be used where appropriate to control runoff <br />and promote revegetation. <br />If corrective measures described above fail, New Horizon proposes to observe and reevaluate the <br />situation. A combination of the first two methods described or some variation therein will be <br />applied. These activities can include, but are not limited to, rock channels, contour furrows or <br />laterals with rock or matting bottoms, V ditches made with the dozer or motor grader, and <br />subsequent revegetation. <br />Head cutting in channels will be controlled by a number of methods. If the area is at a point that <br />concentrates runoff, the area will be improved to accept this runoff. This would include <br />reshaping the channel and channel bottom, covering with erosion matting, seeding, or rocking. <br />Inlet channel erosion will be controlled down to the average water level of the ponds. Remedial <br />action on pond slopes will extend as far down the slopes as equipment access allows, which at a <br />minimum will be below the level of the principal spillway of each pond. <br />Section 2.05.3(3) Page 6 February 2017 (TR -78) <br />
