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 d~uing the inspection and the facts or evidence supporting the enforcement action. 2 West Portals Site and Substation The portal facilities were reclaimed in the fall of 2000. Powerline removal was completed in 2002. The substation was reclaimed in the fall of 2001. These areas appear to be stable, with only minor rill erosion on portions of the reclaimed portal slopes and within the permanent diversion channel. Grade checks of the portal backfill slopes were made by DMG in August 2001, documenting compliance with the approved plan (9/28/01 DMG Inspection Report). The permanent diversion channel was properly certified by a P.E. (6/27/01). The channel remains stable, including the road dip crossing which had eroded and was repaired in August 2001. All facilities demolition and debris removal was properly completed. Substation B Faci/ity This small facility site was fully reclaimed during the fall of 2002. Reclamation included removal of electrical components, structures and foundations, and sealing of an adjacent bore hole. The substation site and adjacent bore hole site land short road segment to the bore hole) were properly graded, extensively roughened, seeded and mulched. The light use road which provided access to the location has been approved for permanent retention, in accordance with landowner request. South Fan Shaft Site, Access Road, and Soil Borrow Area These areas were reclaimed in October 2000. At both the fan site and the borrow area site, slopes were graded very rough, and the sites appear stable with minimal erosion. Graded areas blend into adjacent slopes with no exposed cut slopes or abrupt transitions. No appreciable settling or indications of slope instability were evident. The segment of access road from the 2 West Portals permanent road to the fan site was properly graded, roughened and seeded. All facilities demolition and removal was properly completed. Roadside Refuse Disposal Soil Borrow Area and South Portal Upper Diversion Ditch The borrow area was excavated to provide cover soil and topdressing for the RSRDA refuse pile slopes in 2002. The site was reclaimed in November 2002. The final contours appear to conform to the approved plan, and ephemeral channels were constructed through the site as required. Borrow area side slopes were properly roughened, and have been seeded and mulched, with no indication of erosion or instability. The channels had carried flow due to recent storm runoff, with no appreciable erosion. Channel cross sections and profiles were measured to document compliance with approved designs, and results are reported under DITCH AND CHANNEL MEASUREMENTS AND COMPLIANCE EVALUATION section of this report. The South Portal Upper Diversion Ditch had formerly crossed the location where the soil borrow excavation occurred. The entire ditch was properly graded to blend in with adjacent terrain, and seeded and mulched in November 2002. Drainage from the soil borrow disturbed area is now captured by the new upper diversion ditch located just above the 4
