The inlet ditch was not flowing nor showed <br /> evidence of recent flows and the inlet structure is in good condition. Pond 012 can be seen in Photo Five. <br /> Pond 013 was observed and appeared to be functioning as designed. Aeration and mixing was actively being <br /> conducted at the time of the inspection and the structures associated were functioning well. The Pond has had <br /> three baffle curtains installed to increase the residence time in the pond to assist with water quality. The curtains <br /> and associated mooring posts were noted to be in good conditioning and functioning as intended. An access road <br /> was constructed for the installation of the curtains,all disturbance related to the installation appeared stable and no <br /> evidence of settling, slumping or erosion was noted in the area. The Pond can be seen in Photo Six. <br /> Pond 015 is located to the south of Pond 013 on a south facing hill slope. The pond was dry at the time of the <br /> inspection and showed no signs of recent flows our impoundment of water. The pond appeared stable and was in <br /> good condition at the time of the inspection. Photo Seven shows Pond 015. <br /> Pond 016 located along BB road was observed with a small amount of pooling water shown in Photo Eight. The <br /> pond is in good condition and containing the water as designed,The pond bottom and banks are well vegetated <br /> and stable. The inlet to Pond 016 was flowing, and upon investigation the source of the water appears to be <br /> irrigation tail water coming from the irrigated field to the east of the topsoil stockpile area. The roller sprinklers <br /> were actively applying water to the field which was flowing downgradient,reporting to the ditch along the access <br /> road,and ultimately to Pond 016. This is not considered a problem at this time as no evidence of significant <br /> erosion was noted as a result of the flow. <br /> PHOTOGRAPHS <br /> Photo One: View northwest,showing the observed area of topographic change as <br /> detailed in the SL-25 objection. The area does contain a sharp topographic change, <br /> however is well vegetated and appeared stable at the time of the inspection. <br /> Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 8 <br /> Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 3 <br /> Page 3 of 7 <br />
