Hydrologic Balance <br />Three ponds remain at this site. <br />Pond K is on the north side of <br />the disturbance and appeared dry. <br />Vegetation growing in the bottom <br />of the pond suggests that Ovate; <br />was likely present for a period <br />of time during the spring. The <br />primary outlet appeared <br />functional and any discharge <br />entered a rock canyon immediately <br />below the pond. The embankment <br />of this pond is a former railroad <br />grade serving local, pre-law <br />mining activities. <br />_. r <br />ti <br />"~i. . :~ <br />r~ .if~~' )Lx• iA dE~~~!!~~~Y~1 <br />_ ~~ •-',. <br />.r ~1~41 A <br />• ~~t~ -, - <br />Pond A (actually two small ponds <br />in series) is on the east side of <br />the reclaimed area and was also <br />found dry. The inlet to the pond <br />shcws a minor amount cf <br />downcuttinq immediately above the <br />pond. The upper pond measures 48 <br />feet wide by BS feet long with <br />about 3 vertical feet of storage <br />below the open channel spillway. <br />This computes to 453 cubic yards <br />of sediment and water storage <br />capacity remaining in this <br />impoundment. The lower pond <br />consists of a concrete foundaticn <br />that serves as a n embankment and <br />spillway. <br />Pond Z is the third pond at this <br />site and is located at the <br />northeast end of the reclaimed <br />area. This pond is difficult to <br />discern and dces not appear to <br />play a significant role in <br />capturing runoff from the site. <br />There is no evidence that this <br />pond has held any water or site <br />runoff in the recent past. <br />
