I'll see that this gets included in the NOV file. I also included your pond inspection report of Oct. 28 as an <br />attachment to my 11/22 inspection report. My statement that the pond report indicated "no seepage, cracking or other <br />apparent structural problems with the embankment at that time" was based on the "Structural" section of the pond inspection <br />report. During my site inspection, Rodney had not mentioned the holes in the spillway pipe. He indicated that the excavation <br />had shown no indication of seepage along the pipe. <br />stopped by the mine late yesterday afternoon. They had completed clean-out of the "in-ditch" sediment trap above the <br />pond. The pond had not been completely pumped out, and I will extend the abatement time frame until next Monday, to allow <br />sufficient time to dewater the pond. The cracking on the pond embankment was more extensive yesterday than when I first <br />observed it on the 19th. <br />Dan <br />-----Original Message----- <br />From:Jim Stover [mailto:jestover@bresnan.net] <br />Sent: Monday, November 22, 2004 3:56 PM <br />To: Dan Mathews <br />Subject: McClane Pond <br />Dan: <br />Your inspection report states that my pond inspection report "however the report indicated no seepage, cracking or <br />other apparent structural problems with the embankment at that time" <br />My report states "the mine was performing maintenance on the line because it had noticed seepage north of the outlet <br />valve on the primary spillway". <br />They dug out the spillway, found the holes in the outlet pipe, the holes were leaking, and concluded that was the <br />source of the seepage. There was not much disturbance associated with the repair so I do not believe the repair <br />caused the current instability. <br />Jim Stover, P.E. <br />Consulting Engineer <br />970-245-4101 (Voice) <br />12/13/2004 <br />
