During the <br />inspection, rows of material were being spread and compacted on the west side of the pile. <br /> <br />The weather was hot and partly cloudy. The ground was dry. <br /> <br /> <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 Moni toring 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 />Four sediment ponds were inspected: B, F, J, and K. None of the ponds were discharging. Most were dry. Pond J <br />contained water, but it was not close to full. The eastern inlet contained a small flow, most likely from the <br />underdrains at Gob Pile #3. No significant problems were identified with embankments, spillways, inlet channels, <br />or other features of the ponds. Pond F has been recently cleared of sediment. <br /> <br />Culverts between Gob Pile #3 and Pond J were inspected, and no problems were identified. <br /> <br />The Fire Mountain Canal was flowing full. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
