• In the sediment pond, a non -clogging dewatering device or principle <br />spillway will be located at an elevation equal to the maximum <br />sediment storage volume. Dewatering will be achieved as necessary <br />to comply with the applicable state laws and regulations. <br />Generally, runoff will be contained an average of 24 hours prior to <br />discharge to allow suspended solids to settle. Dewatering will be <br />completed by opening a gate valve located within the principle <br />spillway. <br />Sediment will be removed from the sedimentation pond when the level <br />of the sediment approaches 758 of the design sediment level for the <br />pond. The sediment level in the dugout pond will be monitored <br />closely and if any sediment does reach the pond it will be promptly <br />removed. The sediment pond, dugout pond and sediment fences will <br />be monitored quarterly for sediment accumulation and necessary <br />maintenance. If it is determined that sediment removal or <br />maintenance is required after a quarterly inspection, such removal <br />or maintenance will take place before the end of the following <br />quarter. <br />The sediment pond will be constructed so the minimum elevation at <br />the top of the settled embankment is at least one foot above the <br />elevation of the surface water in the pond when the emergency <br />• spillway is flowing at the design depth. TCC has designed, <br />constructed and will maintain the sedimentation pond to prevent <br />short circuiting. The inflow to the pond will be at the opposite <br />end from the outflow structures. <br />• <br />The sediment pond embankment will be less that 10 feet in vertical <br />height from the downstream toe of the embankment to the bottom of <br />the emergency spillway. <br />To allow for settling, the constructed height of the sedimentation <br />embankment will be at least 58 greater than the designed height. <br />During construction, a registered professional engineer will ensure <br />that all construction is accomplished according to design and <br />applicable regulations. The sedimentation pond embankment and <br />surrounding areas disturbed by construction will be seeded after <br />the embankment is completed. Areas in which vegetation is not <br />successful or where rills and gullies develop will be repaired and <br />revegetated. The sedimentation pond will remain in place until the <br />loadout activities cease; the pond will then be removed when the <br />area has been reclaimed and revegetated. <br />2.05 - 23R <br />Rev. 10-30-92 <br />
