Timely <br />submittal of these reports is incompliance with Rule 4.05.9(17). Sediment pond inspections were <br />conducted by TMI on October 6`h, 8'h, 12th, and 13th, 2004. <br />The majority of the ponds were dry during the Fourth quarter inspection. No Name No. 5 was discharging <br />at the NPDES point at the time of inspection. Middle Flume No. 3 was in the process of sediment clean- <br />out at the time of the inspection. Water from Middle Flume No. 3 pond was pumped to Middle Flume No. <br />1 pond. Middle Flume No. 1 pond was not discharging. <br />Constmction for West Horse Pond was completed during 3rd quarter 2004. The fourth quarter sediment <br />pond inspection stated that the pond identification sign and sediment control marker needed to be placed at <br />West Horse Pond No. 1. Mr. Frank Self, of TMI, sent an electronic mail message to the DMG on <br />December 13, 2004, stating that he had installed the sediment marker and identification sign at the West <br />Horse pond. Asterisks were recorded on the West Pyeatt No. 1 inspection report form regarding sediment <br />level and sediment marker, but no information regarding these asterisks was noted. Please provide detail <br />regarding the information for these two portions of the West Pyeatt No. 1 inspection report. The sediment <br />marker on Sage No. 2 pond needs to be re-set. No significant problems with the ponds were reported for <br />Fourth quarter 2004. <br />Sincerely, <br />Janet in s <br />nviro~ ntal Protec ion Specialist <br />C:/jhb/C81010/Sediment Pond Inspection/2004 Fourth q.doc <br />Cc: Dan Hernandez, DMG <br />Office of Office of Colorado <br />Mined Land Reclamation Active and Inactive Mines Geological Survey <br />
