Sump upstream of containment area #5, east of the conveyor. <br /> Containment area 45 was holding water and it appears NECC had recently been pumping water from the <br /> containment area. It was difficult to judge the amount of sediment in the containment area but NECC should <br /> monitor this feature closely and clean out the sediment from the structure if necessary to insure untreated water <br /> does not flow-offsite. <br /> Pond 004 was holding a small puddle of water but was not discharging. The embankment was stable and <br /> vegetated.

A small rill has formed on the north side of the pond embankment that NECC will <br /> need to monitor. The pond was not discharging but NECC was pumping water from the pond at the time of the <br /> inspection. According to Nick Mason, a new pump has been purchased and will be installed to allow NECC to <br /> pump water from Pond 007a/006a to other ponds within the system such as Pond 004. <br /> Pond 006a was holding water. NECC was pumping water from Pond 007a to Pond 006a.
