<br />L <br />reportable antount of petroleum products were spilled or released into any waterway during <br />1995. <br />in 1995, WFC backfilled, graded, and topsoiled 40.6 acres of disturbed land. The majority <br />of this was completed in the fall and all of it will be seeded in the spring of 1996. This <br />reclamation work will greatly reduce the runoff of sediment from dismrbed land to our <br />sediment ponds. Ponds 002-006 were surveyed for adequate sediment and water storage <br />capacity for [he 25yr - 24hr event. They demonstrated sufficient capacity. Ponds 001 and <br />007 are pending annual survey and subsequent recertification till they thaw and we are able <br />to survey to the total depth of the pond. This should be completed by March of 1996. <br />Wire changes made to your SWMP? Yes <br />At the New Horizon II area, Pond 007 road is being reclaimed. The road is being <br />removed, the subsoil ripped, contoured into existing reclamation, covered with the <br />appropriate topsoil and seeded. The North and South Ditches are being redesigned into <br />one "big" ditch on the south side of the reclamation that is engineered for all SWMP <br />criteria. As of 1/23/96, approximately 1500' of road has been reclaimed. <br />B. A SLJMMARY OF EACH COMPREHENSIVE STORMWATER FACILITY <br />BVSPECTION MADE.... <br />New Horizon Mine is small enough in land area t}tat all active areas in the pern~it <br />boundary are inspected for SWMP compliance daily, Monday -Friday. This includes <br />ditches, culverts, sediment ponds, diversion ditches, petroleum storage facilities, and etc. <br />Non-active areas, such as established reclaimed arias awaiting reclatation bond release, <br />are inspected weekly, with detailed inspections monthly. Any deficiencies noted during <br />any of the inspections werz corrected promptly. <br />In the New Horizon I area, some minor improvements were made in August 1995. <br />Ditches were improved from the end of a straw bale sediment fence to Pond 002 and 003. <br />Also, Pond 003 was re-excavated to design specifications. Roads were maintained with <br />water bars and proper ditches to aid in high runoff situations. <br />
