Timely <br />submittal of these reports is incompliance with Rule 4.05.9(17). Sediment pond inspections were <br />conducted by TMI on June 9, 13, 15, and 16, 2005. <br />Four ponds were reported discharging at the NPDES point at the time they were inspected. These ponds <br />include No Name No. 5, Johnson l OR, East Middle Flume No. 3, and East Middle Flume No. 1 Pond. East <br />Pyeatt Pond No. 1 has greater than 60% capacity level of sediment and is slated for clean out this <br />construction season. Sage No. 2 Pond needs a sediment marker installed. Dewatering wells located just <br />west of G-strike pit are being pumped to Middle Flume No. 1 pond and East Middle Flume No. 1 Pond. <br />This practice is discussed in the permit and is acceptable. No other maintenance items were noted in the <br />reports. No significant problems with the ponds were reported for second quarter 2005. <br />Sincerely, <br />C:/jhb/C81010/Sediment Pond Inspection/2005/2"d q 2005.doc <br />Cc: Dan Hernandez, DMG <br />Office of Office of Colorado <br />Mined land Reclamation Active and Inactive Mines Geological Survey <br />
