The sediment level in the single sediment pond at the site was checked using a clinometer. <br />Sediment levels relative to the top of the riser pipe were estimated on the south and east side of <br />the pond. Significant sediment is present in this area of the pond. Field measurements indicate <br />that sediment levels are equal to or higher in elevation than the top of the riser. The Division <br />recommends the operator survey the current condition of the pond while the pond is dry and clean <br />the pond of sediment, if necessary, to meet the design requirements. The Division will attempt to <br />survey the pond during the next 4-6 weeks to verify the required sediment capacity is presently <br />available in the pond. <br />Fish and Wildlife <br />Evidence suggests a bear is frequenting the site and surrounding area. Elk graze the recaimed <br />area during the night according to Mr. luppa. <br />Revegetation <br />The growing season has end at this site. Revegetation varies on the reclaimed area from fair to <br />good on north facing slopes to extremely poor on the south-facing refuse slope. <br />Overall, the site appeared in fair condition. <br />
