Jason Carver was contacted,however he did <br /> not accompany the inspection. The site is in Final Reclamation and was not active the day of the inspection. the <br /> weather was clear and dry,Five photos accompanty this report to illustrate the observed site conditions <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 /> Located in the Southwest corner of the Permit Area Pond 001 was observed and is in good condition. The <br /> pond contained no standing water at the time of the inspection,is well vegetated and appeared stable. The pond <br /> can be seen in Photo One. The reporting areas consist of runoff captured from the facilities area as well as an area <br /> containing a stockpile of bench one material. Both areas were noted to appear stable and no significant signs of <br /> erosion was noted. The irrigation season has come to a close and the irrigated pastureland was not being watered <br /> at the time of the inspection. As a result,irrigation tail water was not seen flowing through the silt fencing that has <br /> been noted during previous inspections. The small erosional features that were observed appear to not have <br /> worsened in any way.Both ditches that report to the pond were observed to have evidence of recent flows but are <br /> free from obstruction and able to function as designed. Examples of the two reaches of ditches can be seen in <br /> Photos Two and Three. <br /> Just to the North of Pond 001,Pond 002 is located. The pond, shown in Photo Four,was observed to contain <br /> standing water in response to the recent precipitation events received in the area. The side slopes and floor of the <br /> pond all appeared stable at the time of the inspection and are in good condition. The area is well vegetated and no <br /> state listed noxious weeds were observed. The two inlet structures appeared to be in good condition and handled <br /> the recent flows well. Evidence of heavy wildlife traffic was noted. <br /> Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 3 <br /> Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 1 <br /> Page 2 of 5 <br />
