Colowyo C-1981-019 27 September 2007 Pg 4/7 Hydrologic Balance (cont.): -Sump 1 was full at the time of the inspection but was not discharging. The sump was stable at the time of the inspection. This sump was cleaned prior to the recent storm event. -Sump 2 contained water approximately one foot below the top of the sump at the time of the inspection but was not discharging. The sump was stable at the time of the inspection. This sump was cleaned prior to the recent storm event. -Sump 3 contained water approximately two feet below the top of the sump at the time of the inspection but was not discharging. The sump was stable at the time of the inspection. This sump was cleaned prior to the recent storm event. -Sump 4 contained water approximately one foot below the top of the sump and was not discharging at the time of the inspection. The sump was stable at the time of the inspection. This sump was cleaned prior to the recent storm event. - Sump 5 contained water to the top of the sump but was not discharging at the time of the inspection. The sump appeared to be stable at the time of the inspection. This sump was cleaned prior to the recent storm event. -The operator had a contractor (Anson) on site construction the West Taylor Pond. Anson is construction the embankment. The West Taylor Pond has been completed with the exception of the trash rack on the discharge pipe and the flume to measure discharge. The two short sections of railing on the walkway out to the discharge pipe have been installed. The pond contained water approximately four feet below the top of the discharge pipe and was not discharging at the time of the inspection. The pond embankment appeared to be stable and no erosional problems were noted. Colowyo will seed the pond embankments, the topsoil stockpile for the pond and the borrow area this fall. - Colowyo has stripped the topsoil for the Section 28 Pond and has started constructing the embankment. The topsoil has been stockpiled just below where the pond embankment will be located. The Division believes that an alternate topsoil stockpile location would be better because of the current stockpile's proximity to the pond embankment. Colowyo decided to add the Geotextile and gravel underdrain to this pond as well. During the inspection approximately 1 /3 of the gravel layer was exposed. It was too windy to lay the Geotextile over the gravel at the time. The operator was working on the beginning lifts of the remaining 2/3 of the embankment. Anson, who is also building this pond as well, needs to get the remaining Geotextile on the gravel filter and begin working on the remaining 1 /3 of the embankment and tie it in to the 2/3 that they are working on to ensure that the lower portion of the embankment is stable. Construction of the Section 28 Pond is with a Komatsu PC400LC excavator, a Komatsu 350 articulated truck, a CAT D7H dozer and a CAT CP-433E compactor. Anson is using two operators for the job. One operator is running the excavator and loading the truck. The other driver is driving the truck. Once the truck is loaded, it travels to the embankment and dumps the dirt. After two or three truck loads, the operators get out of the excavator and truck and get into the dozer and compactor. The dozer is spreading the material in approximately six- inch lifts and it is being compacted. The contractor appears to be getting good compaction as the articulated truck is not sinking in when it drives on the embankment to dump its dirt.
