Hydrologic Balance <br />The sediment pond held water in the portion of the pond that was cleaned of sediment one <br />year ago. It was not discharging. The pond embankment and the emergency spillway were <br />observed and appeared normal. The pond inlet shows no erosion as it located on solid <br />bedrock. Culverts site-wide were found open and appeared functional. Diversion ditches <br />were also observed and no problems were noted. <br />Processing Waste <br />The refuse disposal area was traversed on foot. No damage or slumps were observed. A <br />small seep was noted low in the south-facing highwall. This seep has been observed in <br />previous years and typically dries up during the early summer. No instability has been <br />observed in or around this "damp area". The refuse contour berm was found intact and in <br />good condition, as was refuse ditch #1 and ditch #2. The 100-year ditch was walked along <br />its entire length and found in good condition. <br />Revegetation <br />The south-facing revegetated areas are beginning to show signs of early growth due to good <br />moisture and periodic warming temperatures. Cattle or evidence of grazing were not <br />observed on the reclamation. <br />Qverall, the site appeared in normal cond+tion for the late winter season. <br />
