ROADS AND HYDROLOGIC BALANCE -continued <br />Sedimentation Ponds -continued <br />Oak Drainage - #1 pond water level is approximately 10 feet below the spillway. #2 pond contains a <br />few feet of mucky water. Muck and plant debris in #2 pond apparently came from the downpour that <br />occurred three days earlier, according to the operator. This rainstorm eroded a gully measuring 1 foot <br />wide by 3 feet deep on the southwest bank of pond #1. This gully needs repair. Inslopes and <br />embankment of #1 pond are bare. Vegetation is starting on inslopes and embankments of #2 pond. <br />Small gullies or rills are developing on banks of #2 pond. Both ponds are one year old. <br />The operator built two brush "dams' in the bottom of the Oak drainage directly above #1 pond. During <br />the storm on Sunday, these "dams" appears to have trapped some plant debris and sediment <br />preventing it from being carried into the ponds below. There was a large flow of water during the <br />storm as shown by one of the "dams" being breached and flattened vegetation just below the breach. <br />BACKFILL AND GRADING <br />Ash Disposal Pit <br />No problems were found in the area where scrubber sludge is currently being disposed (406,000 N; <br />1,424,500 E). <br />TOPSOIL <br />The following topsoil stockpiles are well-vegetated, are not gullied, and have markers: A92-1, A92-2, <br />A93-5, A94-2, and A95-2. <br />SLIDES AND DAMAGE <br />Slide in scraper pit area of Ashmore Pit <br />The slide mass has been regraded and no longer is evident. Topsoil stockpile A93-5 which lies <br />approximately 100 feet uphill to the south was not affected by the slide. Eventually Flintlock pit will <br />pass through here. <br />-4- <br />
