Uaaer Sedimentation Pond No.2 1. Structural Weakness - None 2. Erosion and Vegetation - Same observation as Lower Pond. 3. Hazardous or Potentially Hazardous Conditions - None 4. Sediment Level - 3.4 feet below the riser base. Water level in the pond is at the riser base, and although there is water in the riser base, the is no flowage through the pipe. 5. Required Maintenance - None 6. Discharge Structures The primary dewatering device, pipe and riser, are free and clear of debris. Riprap in the emergency spillway and outflow is in acceptable condition, and the scattered vegetation in these two structures poses no problem to water Plow. There is no evidence of recent water flow through these two structures. 7. Input Structures - Same observation as lower pond. 8. Miscellaneous - Embankment measurements confirm that the structure conforms to Section 4.05.6(11)(f) and Section 4.05.6(11)(h) of the Regulations of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board Por Coal Mining. The riser and a few feet of the upstream end of the primary dewatering device have been tilted up, probably do to the freezing and thawing of water and water saturated soil beneath the pipe. This should not effect functioning oY the pipe and riser, and therefore does not constitute a hazard to operation of the sedimenta- tion pond. The measuring board is down. Exalosive Storaee Area Sedimentation Pond 1. Structural Weakness - None 2. Erosion and Vegetation - Same as the Lower and Upper Ponds with increased vegetation density on the embankment tops. 3. Hazardous or Potentially Hazardous Conditions - None 4. Sediment Level - 2.8 feet below the riser base. The pond is dry. 5. Required Maintenance - None 6. Discharge Structures The riser and pipe, primary dewatering device,are clear of debris, and the outflow riprap is in acceptable condition. Riprap in the emergency spillway is in acceptable condition, and the weedy vegetation in the spillway should not impede the flow of water. There is no evidence of recent water flow through the spillway. 7. Input Structure - The ditch from the Northwest Sediment Trap outflow to this pond is in acceptable condition. There is a negligible buildup of sediment at the terminus of the ditch.
