Canments also describe arry enforarnent actions taken during the inspection and the facts a eHdence supporting the enforcement action. There was minor siltation at the west inlet of the RDA Sedimentation Pond. Runoff from the RDA and adjacent areas had by-passed the riprap channel of the east relief drain to the RDA Sedimentation Pond. There was minor siltation at the east inlet of the RDA Sedimentation Pond. Some ditch Clow in the remnant road to the west of the RDA riprapped relief drain had bypassed the dNersion berm that directs flow into the feeder r~rapped relief drain onto the terrace. Slides and Damage: The major drainage swale across the Portal 3 area had experienced some siltation near the ravine outlet and dovmcxttting across the site. The embankment to the road had some downcutting with development of a gullet'. The culvert under the County Road from the former Sedimentation Pond 4 was plugged (the pond area was completely filled in, as was the former Sedimentation Pond 3}. Some vegetated areas had trapped and were covered by sediment below the entrance gate to the Facilities Area. Some minor rutting of the access road took place as some of the Clow follotived the road. The berm of the perimeter dkch had been overtopped opposite the upper end of Treatment Pond 1. Sediment had plugged and flows overtopped the perimeter ditch in two places leading to the RDA Sediment Pond, along with some sediment cover over reclaimed vegetated areas (the more significant being at the nose of the shale protrusion between the Facilities Area and the RDA). The eastern-most riprap relief drain above the RDA Sedimentation Pond has lost its channel configuration, and fk7ws had by- passed the riprap on the eastern side. Other: Matt Thorpe of the Cokxado DNision of Wildlife (CDW) inspected the North Thompson Creek channel in the vicinity of Portal 1. This was an orientation visit, and no CDW comments were made. A number of photographs were taken at the site and will be placed on file at the DNision. C-A1-025, Papa ~ of S P paa, (date) ~~ f~ oo (initials)
