The <br />loadout site was dry and the weather was clear at the time of the inspection. No mantainence or reclamation <br />activities of the main facilities area, the railway, or the Tie-Across Haul Road were being conducted at the time of <br />the inspection. No permiting actions are currently under review. <br />HYDROLOGIC BALANCE - Rule 4.05 <br />Drainage Control 4.05.1, 4.05.2, 4.05.3; Siltation Structures 4.05.5, 4.05.6; Discharge Structures 4.05.7, 4.05.10; <br />Diversions 4.05.4; Effluent Limits 4.05.2; Ground Water Monitoring 4.05.13; Surface Water Monitoring 4.05.13; <br />Drainage – Acid and Toxic Materials 4.05.8; Impoundments 4.05.6, 4.05.9; Stream Buffer Zones 4.05.18: <br />This inspection focused on the permit area on the north side of Hwy 40, which contains part of a rail line and the <br />rail ballast, which separates 2 hay fields. Due to the location of the ballast and it’s proximity to an irrigation ditch <br />the vegetation in the area have come into question as to whether a wetland now exists. The operator contacted the <br />Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and was instructed to conduct an aquatic resource delineation study to <br />determine if the area is jurisdictional and needs to be permitted. The reclamation of this area is currently on hold. <br /> Area north of Hwy 40 west of rail line
