Mr. Boyd Aetemboreki was the operator's representative present during the inspection <br />and the landowner, Nr. R.L. Robeson, was also present. <br />The site ie situated on a stream terrace about 75 vertical feet above the Middle Fork of the <br />South Platte River which serves as the northern boundary of the permit. The only equipment <br />present was a front end loader. Mr. Aetemboreki ie using this to push oversize rock ngainet <br />the steep western highwall. <br />The mud spill, located in the northeastern portion of the permit, had occurred after fines <br />removed from the settling pond were placed along the edge of the terrace above the Middle <br />Fork. About half of this material had spilled down the edge of the terrace and onto the <br />lower stream bank beside the Middle Fork. The other half remained on the edge of the upper <br />terrace and this was pulled away from the edge to prevent it from eliding down toward the <br />river. A 5 foot berm of oversize material was placed along the edge of the terrace in the <br />area where the elide had originated. The toe of the elide along the river had been removed <br />and spread out along the bank and a three foot high berm was constructed along the river edge <br />to prevent any fines from entering the river. <br />Three rock berme had been constructed at intervals along the terrace elope to catch any fines <br />still present along the path of the spill. A seed mix was broadcast along the path of the <br />elide, on the toe of the elide and in the areas along the river edge where the fine material <br />from the toe had been spread. This mix had germinated and was coming in rather uniformly in <br />the area. Willow shoots had been planted in the area of the toe along the river edge and <br />also appeared to be doing well. <br />This response is commendable and satisfies the requirements for corrective action no. 2 in <br />the 7/29/94 inspection report. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME CLIFF PRIDEMORE <br />OPERATOR PRIDEMORE CONSTRUCTION <br />STREET 12750 STATE HIGHWAY 291 <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP SALIDA, COLORADO 81201 <br />cc: CARL MOUNT, DMG <br />^ CE <br />^ BL <br />^ FS <br />^ HW <br />^ HMWMD (CH) <br />^ SE <br />^ WQCD (CH) <br />^ OTHER <br />
