f ` • • 1 <br />Sediment Pond 003, located on the east side of the East Pit Area, was dry. Primary <br />spillway was 12" CMP, inlet and outlet of CMP were clear of sediment and debris. <br />Discharge location of CMP was rock lined and appeared stable, no evidence of <br />excessive erosion. Secondary spillway was open channel, riprap lined and stable. <br />Vegetative cover for pond embankment was sparse and weedy, however, no evidence <br />of excessive erosion or instability was observed. Pond inlet was poorly protected from <br />erosion by decomposing shale and sandstone rocks. Evidence of minor erosion <br />observed at pond inlet. <br />Sediment containment ditches 3 and 4, conveying disturbed area drainage to Sediment <br />Pond 003, were well maintained. Rock lining in steep sections of ditches was intact, no <br />evidence of excessive erosion, rock lining appeared stable. <br />Contour furrows on steep reclaimed slopes of the East Pit Area were generally intact. <br />Steep reclaimed slopes showed evidence of minor rill erosion, however, vegetative cover <br />appeared well established and sufficient to control future erosion. Numerous rose <br />bushes were located along south and east facing slopes. Rabbit droppings were located <br />along south side of East Pit Area. <br />Backfill & Grading - No evidence of slumping, sliding or settling was observed on <br />reclaimed areas. <br />
