~~ D <br />III. COMMENTS -COMPLIANCE <br />Below are comments on the inspection. The comments include discussion of observations made <br />during the inspection. Comments also describe any enforcement actions taken during the <br />inspection and the facts or evidence supporting the enforcement action. <br />Processing Waste <br />CRDA No. 2 <br />Some wet areas still remain along the outside edge of the <br />active bench, and additional grading of the upper bench drain <br />will be necessary when material dries sufficiently. Some <br />rough grading of truck dump refuse has been initiated on the <br />pile since the previous inspection, but much of the surface of <br />the working bench is still covered by truck dump piles. The <br />loose material has not been graded into lifts at this point, <br />and it appears that more material may have been dumped than <br />would be required to spread into a single compacted two foot <br />lift over the surface of the bench. Measures will need to be <br />taken to ensure that specified lift thickness and compaction <br />requirements are met. <br />Lower bench drains were well maintained, and there was no <br />evidence of erosion or instability on reclaimed portions of <br />the pile. Diversion structures appeared to be properly <br />maintained and in compliance with permit requirements. <br />CRDA No. 1 <br />No problems were observed on CRDA No. 1. Truck dump material <br />is being graded out over the surface of the pile. Bench <br />drains are in very good condition, and there is no indication <br />of erosion or instability on reclaimed portions of the pile. <br />Diversion ditches are properly maintained. Various seep areas <br />on reclaimed portions of the pile were damp. Minor topsoil <br />sloughage occurred at one of the seep areas last spring, but <br />has not recurred. <br />Minor seepage was noted at the southern-most underdrain outlet <br />adjacent to the diversion ditch inlet to Sediment Pond No. 6. <br />Other underdrain outlet locations were dry. The drain <br />locations have largely been covered over by surface soil, and - <br />are difficult to locate. <br />Roadside Refuse Pile <br />No problems were noted with regard to drainage or stability. <br />The slopes of the pile support an interim vegetation cover, <br />which in some cases is rather sparse, and there is rill <br />erosion in some areas. During final reclamation, the 6" <br />
