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. Diversion No. 1 perimeter ditch. The ditch was still functional and was well vegetated. Two areas, in the perimeter collection ditch that leads into the Ute pond from the west side, will need some minor maintenance. Near the inlet to the Ute pond, the ditch is deepening a little and may need filling in or riprap. Further westward is one spot where the ditch is starting to fill in a little. The capacity of the ditch is still sufficient, but maintenance may be needed in the future. All of the other ditches on site were examined and no maintenance problems were observed. The eastern-most road ditch has been filled in with rock and dirt. The ditch had begun to deepen and maintenance was needed. There was a small amount of erosional head cutting about 50 feet east of culvert GRS-2. This should be watched since it is adjacent to the haul road. The outfall of culvert D-15 needs to be repaired. The outflow has bypassed the riprap and has begun to down cut. During the inspection, the operator removed a small grass clump that had grown at the outlet of culvert JG-2. All of the other culverts were clear and their outfalls were adequately protected. On Map M51, Drainage and Sediment Control Plan, the symbol for culvert JGag-1 needs to be rotated 90 degrees to show the proper alignment in the field. BEDIMENTATION PONDB All of the No Name ponds, Nos. 2, 4 and 5, were discharging. No Name No. 5, the NPDES location, was discharging at about 20 GPM. The discharge was clear. All of the Johnson ponds were discharging. This included Johnson Nos. 6, 7R, 8, 9R and lOR. At the NPDES site, Johnson No. lOR, the discharge was at a rate of about 15 to 20 GPM and was clear. Ute and Elk were both discharging at a trickle and the discharges were clear. The seeps just upgradient of the Elk pond are beginning to dry up. No longer flowing, they are just wet areas now. There was some water in West Buzzard No. 2. The water level in West Buzzard No. 3 was several inches below discharge. The water level in Coyote was several feet below discharge. The spring below the Coyote pond was flowing at about 10 GPM. The water levels in West Pyeatt No. 1 and No. 2 were two feet below discharge and two to three feet below discharge, respectively. The Middle Pyeatt No. 1 water level was two to three feet below discharge. There was some water in East Pyeatt Nos. 2 and 3. The spring below East Pyeatt No. 3 was flowing at about 10 to 15 GPM.
