Tho.r.pson: <br />5731 State Highway 73 <br />Meeker, Co~-~ra0o 87 ;41 <br />(30.3) B24-4451 <br />A*.tached for your review is the Certification of the final construction <br />of the Gulch A Sediment Pond. <br />In addition to the Certification, the folle•.ving figures/drawings are <br />included for your review: <br />i. Figure 1: Plan view of Gulch A pond showing the completed pond, location <br />of eT~ergency spillway, location of primary spillway and dewatering device, <br />dischare=_ flu~~=_, rip ,rap areas, access road for future dredging, and <br />cleaning pad for future dredging. <br />2. Figure 2• Cross sections of dam and emeraen~y spillway. The cross section <br />locations are shown in Figure 1. <br />3. Figure 3: Plan view of Gulch A Pond showing locations that bentonite was <br />mixed with native soils to ensure stability. <br />4. Figure 4: Locations for compaction tests. <br />5. Table 1: Data summarv for Gulch A Pond. <br />All specifications in the approved plan for the Gulch A Pond have been <br />mzt or er.ceeded as shown in the following data summary (Table 1). As shown in <br />the accompanying figures, the excavation was two feet deeper than originally <br />designed. Since an access road and cleaning pad for future dredging were added <br />to the structure during construction, a sut.sequent decrease in capacity would <br />have occurred, so additional capacity was obtained by excavating tolo feet deeper. <br />In addition, the width of the emergency spillway wes increased so the slope cn <br />the sides of the spillway could be decreased to accommodate future tt•uck traffic <br />from the cleaning pad. The cross sectional area of the emergency spillway <br />increased from 45 ft.2 to 52 ft.2. <br />
