A technical revision (TR-39) is pending approval and will address the ongoing erosion prevention <br />and maintenance of the 100 year and in-pit ditches. <br />No subdrain system is required by our permit, as geotechnical investigations for the disposal site <br />revealed no ground water present. Permanent out slope remain at approximately 80% complete on <br />the toe of sub-area 2-3 and approximately 50% complete on [he toe of sub-area 4. These slopes <br />appeared stable. Pit 5 consists of a thin layer of refuse over the entire area. A groundwater <br />monitoring well had been drilled between sub-areas 1 and 2-3. To date, no water has accumulated <br />in the well. <br />At the end of the second quarter a total of 1,879,469 tons of refuse have been placed in sub-area 2-3, <br />a total of 1,380,779 tons of refuse have been placed on sub-area 4, and a total of 228,134 tons of <br />refuse have been placed in sub-area Sa. <br />A total of 17 compaction tests were performed on sub-area 2/3 and five compaction tests were nm <br />on sub-area 4. All areas tested exceeded the required Proctor level of 90%. <br />The large cut and unconsolidated area in RP-2/3 lefr-over from the refuse storage of a few years ago <br />is being rehabilitated and prepared for further refuse storage. The storage of the refuse had wet the <br />underlying pile. This wet material is being removed, dried and then is being re-compacted. The re- <br />compaction process is being monitored closely for method and compaction. This process appears <br />to be working well and the rehabilitation process will hopefully be completed before the weather <br />turns bad for the winter. <br />Both the topsoil and subsoil piles for sub-areas 2-3 and 4 have been seeded and are stable. All of <br />these seeded areas plus the area disturbed during the reclamation of sub-area I show vegetative <br />growth. The topsoil and sub-soil piles along with the pond and other disturbed areas associated with <br />pit Sa mostly covered with vegetation despite a dismal growing season so tar this year. All organic <br />material and topsoil was removed prior to the storage of refuse in all areas. <br />Sub-area I has been reclaimed and is no longer in use. <br />The repair of the RP-4 refuse pond was checked and appears to be very stable. The results of the <br />geoteclmical investigation were received during August and a monitoring plan was worked out with <br />the DMG. <br />
