October 24,2017 C-1981-015/Fruita No I &2 JHB <br /> that the pond had discharged anytime recently. There was evidence of large flows of water across portions of the <br /> reclaimed mine. Some channeling had occurred on the reclaimed road,but this channeling merged into the <br /> permanent ditch and does not severely impact the reclamation. Another large flow crossed the reclaimed road at <br /> the drainage that previously had been controlled with a culvert. The flow did not cause significant erosion to the <br /> out slope. Another concentration of flow occurred where the road turns eastward. This flow also did not cause <br /> significant cutting on the out slope of the road. All runoff is directed to the pond. <br /> The permanent drainage across the top of the reclaimed portal bench and down the face of the out slope appears to <br /> be holding up well. There is some side cutting on the lower portion of the drainage on the out slope,but the <br /> majority of the flow remains within the drainage. There was evidence that this drainage has seen a large intense <br /> runoff event in the recent history. <br /> RECLAMATION SUCCESS -Rule 4.15,Rule 3: <br /> The regraded and reclaimed road to the portal bench remains in good condition. There is limited rill <br /> formation of short dlength. Surface roughness is effective in reducing the development of rills of long distance. <br /> Though there was evidence of trespass by the public (occasional water bottles),no damage to the reclamation was <br /> noted. The portal bench and out slope remain in good condition as well. Rilling is observed on the steep out slope <br /> of the bench,but this is expected and not concentrating into gully formation. The pond remains functional and <br /> slowing large flows of runoff prior to flowing off the site. <br /> REVEGETATION—Rule 4.15 <br /> Vegetative Cover; Timing: <br /> The vegetation on the site has dried up for the season. Perennial vegetation remains healthy and diverse. <br /> Noxious weed species, other than Cheatgrass,were few and not a concern. Site looks good heading into the winter <br /> months. <br /> DOCUMENTS RECEIVED NA <br /> OTHER(SPECIFY)NA <br /> ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS/COMPLIANCE <br /> The permit has been revoked.
