Mr. Jason Carver of ERMR represented the <br /> operator and accompanied the inspection. <br /> The weather was hot,dry and sunny. <br /> AVAILABILITY OF RECORDS—Rule 5.02.4(1): <br /> Mine records are stored in the meeting building files. Availability of Records form accompanies this <br /> inspection report. <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 /> SP2 was inspected. The stock tank is dry but the bottom of the stock tank has a good stand of grass. <br /> Irrigation tail water has made it to SP2 and encouraged the establishment of grasses on the bottom of the stock <br /> tank. In spite of the dry conditions,perennial species are becoming established on the stock tank inslopes. Several <br /> individual knapweed plants were observed on the embankment of sP2 near the spillway. Noxious weed <br /> management of these plants is needed to assure these noxious weeds do not become well established or spread. <br /> No gullies or other erosional features were noted at SP2 <br /> Pond 12 was dry with adequate vegetation on the inslopes and bottom of the pond. No problems were noted with <br /> Pond 12. <br /> The baffles in Pond 13 are holding up well. The baffles appear to be functional at slowing the flow through Pond <br /> 13. Inflow to Pond 13 was read on the inflow meters; 415 gpm CC ditch water inflow, plus 164 gpm and 68 gpm <br /> (232 gpm) inflow to Pond 13 from the Trench drain, for a total of 647 gpm into Pond 13. Pond weeds were <br /> already starting to grow in the first 3 "cells"west from the inflow. These are not true pond cells, since there is <br /> flow between the "cells"and they are not completely separate. This seemed the easiest description to describe the <br /> Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 8 <br /> Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 4 <br /> Page 2 of 9 <br />
