Timely submittal of these reports is in compliance with Rule 4.05.9(17). Sediment pond inspections <br />were conducted by TMI on June 21st, June 22"d ,and June 26th , 2007. <br />Two ponds were reported discharging at the NPDES point at the time they were inspected. These ponds <br />include No Name No. SR, and Middle Flume No. 3 Pond. Dischazges were all minimal. Maintenance <br />required for twelve ponds was identified. These maintenance concerns were primarily resetting of <br />sediment mazkers of installation of identification signs, Oak Gulch Pond #1, and East Pyeatt #1 require <br />sediment cleanout from the pond. Johnson #8 needs sediment cleaned from the spillway crest. Middle <br />Pyeatt, Johnson #6 and East Flume ponds all need some minor animal burrow infill. TCC will need to <br />schedule maintenance for the identified ponds. <br />Sincerely, <br />Janet inns <br />Enviro ental Protection Specialist <br />C:/jhb/C81010/Sediment Pond Inspection/2007/2nd q 2007.doc <br />Cc: Dan Hernandez, DMG <br />Office of Office of <br />Mined Land Reclamation Denver Grand Junction Durango Active and Inactive Mines <br />
