8. Miscellaneous - Embankment measurements confirm that the <br />structure conforms to Section 4.05.6(11)(£) and Section <br />4.05.6(11)(h) of the Regulations of the Colorado Mined <br />Land Reclamation Board for Coal Mining. <br />The riser and upstream end of the dewatering pipe have <br />been elevated 0.7 feet, and although this circumstance <br />does not create a hazard to the operation of the riser <br />and pipe, the unit should be lowered to it's proper <br />position. <br />The measuring board is down. <br />Yampa River Sedimentation Pond <br />1. Structural Weakness - None. <br />2. Erosion and Vegetation - There are no erosion problems <br />at this pond, however the vegetation is attenuated due to <br />Livestock activity in the pond area. <br />3. Hazardous or Potentially Hazardous Conditions - None. <br />4. Sediment Level - 3.0 feet below the input base of the <br />dewatering pipe. This vertical measurement includes 2.0 <br />feet from the pipe to retained water level plus an <br />estimated 1.0 foot oP water depth. <br />5. Required Maintenance - None. <br />6. Discharge Structures <br />The primary dewatering device is clear oP all debris <br />and outflow riprap is in acceptable condition. <br />The emergency spillway riprap and outflow, cemented <br />riprap are in good condition, and minor vegetation in <br />the spillway poses no problem to water flow. <br />7. Input Structures <br />The western culvert under the roadway is partially <br />blocked at the input by some gravel deposits. Although <br />this deposit constitutes no hazard to the function of <br />the sedimentation pond, removal of the debris should <br />improve culvert function to 100 percent. <br />A slight trickle of water, that originates at a spring <br />south of the pond, flows through the eastern culvert <br />under the road. The culvert is clear oY debris. <br />8. Miscellaneous - Seven, pond-side, embankment slope <br />measurements established horizontal distances that are <br />more than twice the vertical component. Inasmuch as the <br />Yampa River Sedimentation Pond is, for the most part, <br />a depression in the alluvial valley floor, regulations <br />4.05.6(11)(f) and 4.05.6(11)(h) do not apply to this <br />structure. <br />The measure board is down. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />~~~ <br />Eug a M.
