III. COMMENTS -COMPLIANCE
Below are comments on the inspection. The comments include discussion of observations made
during the inspection. Comments also describe any enforcement actions taken during the inspection
and the facts or evidence supporting the enforcement action.
would be needed to fill in gaps between rocks. The upper segment of the SE perimeter collodion ditch had
been lazgely completed, including placement of fabricunderliner and riprap. As with the upper diversion
outlet segments, some additional rock placement appeared to be necessary to fill in gaps.
The site was re-visited on April 13. The diversion ditch and perimeter ditch segments were not closely
inspected, but it was noted that the extensive roughening seedbed prep treatment and rock group placement
had been completed as specified on the topsoiled outslopes. Pile top and upper diversion north facing slope
azeas had been adequately roughened by contour ripping, and rock groupings had been placed on the top of
pile as required. It appears that aspects of the CRDA-2 reclamation likely be completed by the end of April
will include reclamation of the refuse slopes and top, perimeter ditches, and new diversion ditch (including
seeding and mulching of these areas). Reclamation grading of the old upper diversion and the road across
the face of the pile, which provides access to the top of pile and the old diversion, will not be completed
until later in the curzent quarter (as allowed under the approved reclamation schedule). Permanent seeding
of these areas is scheduled to be completed during the fall dormant season.
All aspects of the CRDA-2 construction/reclamation work, including diversion and perimeter ditch
construction will need to be certified by P.E.
2 West Portals
The substation site had been reclaimed in the fall of 2001, extensively roughened and seeded. No
germination yet of seeded species. Silt fences were properly maintained.
There were no problems apparent at the portals site reclaimed the previous fall. Initial establishment of
seeded species appears to have been somewhat spotty.
South Fan and Borrow Area
No problems observed at these areas, which were reclaimed in Fall, 2000. The remaining powerline
segment is to be removed by the end of 2002. 2000revegetation seeding in these areas appears to have
been quite successful, with good initial establishment of cool season grassesshadscale and fourwing
saltbush, and winterfat.
South Portal Facility Area
Regrading of the RSRDA benches had been completed andtopsoiling of the pile outslopes was in progress.
Soil was being excavated by scrnper from the approved borrow area at the head of the short canyon above
the refuse area. RSRDA bench grading (includingtopsoiling ofthe benches andoutslopes) and installation
of the new upper diversion immediately above the pile is to be completed this quarter. Although appazently
not specified in the Figure 14-1 reclamation schedule, it is assumed that grading, ripping andtopsoiling of
the soil borrow area, and re-grading of the old upper diversion that passes through the borrow location, will
be completed in conjunction with the RSRDA refuse bench project during the P" quarter, 2002. ,
Reclamation of the South Portal area roads and the water tank bench is not specifically addressed in the
reclamation schedule. The Division assumes that the roads providing access to Substations A and B
would be reclaimed concurrently with those facilities, and that the road to the portal bench and the
water tank bench would be reclaimed concurrently with portal bench reclamation.
