•. <br />All disturbed areas were revegetated with appropriate wetlands and uplands area seed mixtures in <br />order to promote long term stability of the sites. Silt fences were erected below excavation areas <br />in order to retain sediment prior to it entering adjacent water resources. <br />Inspections conducted in 2005 indicate that the Best Management Practices employed during <br />construction were functioning as designed. The rock rip rap placed in the bottom of the <br />excavated spillways was sufficient in size and volume to deter erosion. No erosion of the <br />embankment cut slopes was observed. The severe scarification and the minimal height of these <br />areas was sufficient to minimize erosion potential. The silt fence erected at the base of each cut <br />slope was removed in 2003, as the vegetation appears sufficient to prevent sediment generation. <br />No erosion or sediment generation problems were noted at any of the discrete pond locations. It <br />is apparent that the vegetative cover has become sufficiently established to warrant a request for <br />permit termination. <br />B. Comprehensive inspections of the pond construction areas were made on a periodic basis <br />from June through October 2005. As an inactive mine, only one inspection was required to be <br />performed. <br />C. No sampling was undertaken. No evidence of discharge from any of the ponds was <br />observed in 2005. <br />C:\sgr\clbsn\stmwcpondsOSp <br />..~,,.u <br />
