A grate has been placed over the structure to permit <br />access. The new culvert may need less maintenance since it has better grade. <br />The ranch road above the mine serves-as a diversion of undisturbed drainage. A <br />small berm, 2-6 inches, is inplace along this road. However, the plan for this ditch <br />on page 154 and 159 of the current Apex application states that a larger ditch or berm is <br />needed. The 10-year peak flow for this ditch is I2 cfs which requires a trapezoidal ditch <br />with a of flow of 1.3 ft. plus .3 ft. of freeboard. The ditch should therefore be about <br />1.6 feet deep. From my observations it appears that a larger ditch and or berm is needed <br />on this road. In a letter from David Canning to Carol Russell of Flined Land Reclamation <br />Division, Sunland Mining Company agreed to maintain the ditch or a 6 inch berm on the <br />outside of the road. At present the berm needs to be enlazged to pass the required flows. <br />Records <br />Mined Land Reclamation Division Permit, Application; and hydrologic monitoring <br />data were on file at the mine. <br />No additional problems or concerns were idel~tified with regards to the Rule 4 <br />performance standards. <br />
