PAGE 4 event. The probability of a storm of this magnitude occurring is less than once in ten years. Although the capacity was reduced on the ditches and culverts, any additional flow which would occur would still report to sediment ponds. These structures were designed per regulation, to handle capacities from storm events up to a 10 year/24 hour. The design event was surpassed. All structures. except two culverts were returned to their design capacities prior to departure of the inspection team on August 12. Clean-out of the other two culverts .was done before the abatement deadline. ,Seriousness is extremely low due to the nature of the event that caused the problems, tshort.dhrationi?and limi`ted~actual _ and potential damage which may have occurred. FAULT: The unavoidable nature of the storm event, combined with the very quick response time to correct the identified areas indicate a very low fault value. Response time was delayed because ~ of the extremely wet conditions and the labor'diapute which did not '. allow a continuation of cleanup. Cleanup of, the drainage system was. well underway at'.the time. of inspection. It continued throughou£.the .inspection.. .The .cleanup was progressing 'in a priority fashion with there secondary structures awaiting their turn. The failure to maintain was a direct result of'the total disruption of..the drainage system caused by the storm.. GOOD' FAITH: All but two culverts were completely_.cleaned prior to departure of the inspection team. All ditches were returned to design capacity. Completion of the clean out of the two remaining culverts was done by August 13 for one and August 17 for the second. Both were finished within the abatement deadline date. Repair work was well underway upon your 'arrival, all 'ditches and moat culverts returned to design capacity, and .the two 'remaining culverts par.tially~restored prior to inspection team departure: .Good .faith.cr~dit should be at the maximum. NOV C-94-020: Failure to Maintain Pond Primary Spillway Structures . SERIOUSNESS: The extent of .actual or potential damage caused by this NOV is extremely low. The primary spillway for, pond '008 ' had a leaking riser. This riser has never leaked prior to the . riiajor storm event because the water level in the pond has never been up that height. The increased water elevation was caused_by the major storm. The amount of water leaking ie minimal.. .The water is absorbed into the -ground prior to reaching the -CDPS sampling location. In. other. words, there was no regulated discharge. The gate valve leak at .pond 007 was also dripping a
