~ D °• o 0 ~~ _. ., For; J. A. Kiger December 8, 1993 SECTION 16 FILL CONSTRUCTION UPDATE AND CERTIFICATION On December 8, 1993 I accompanied Mr. James A. Kiger, Colowyo's reclamation supervisor, on an inspection of the Section to Fil; and i,-tter+ie~,+cil i~u~. i:~ig;,r about his observations during it's construction. The purpose of this visit was to observe the condition of the fill and to satisfy the requirements of CDMG Rule 4.09.1(11). Since the last inspection on September 20, 1993 the majority of the fill has been completed, sloped, topsoiled, and seeded. A small amount of spoil has been placed at the extreme upper end of the fill and has yet to be sloped. Other than that, the fill is essentially complete. During the inspection, we observed that the rip-rap in the drainage channel that had been bedded with smaller material was in good condition. The small seep noted in the last inspection on the extreme east end of the fill was not evident, possibly because of snow cover. This seep, if still present, is not expected to cause any problems as it is in an area of thin fill with very little material above or below it. The presence or absence of this seep will be confirmed in future inspections. The fill exhibited no appearances of instability, structural weakness, or other hazardous conditions. On December 8, 1993, I interviewed the project engineer, Mr. Fd Moyer who personally observed the corstnctior. on numero.~!s ncrasions. Ile concurred that there are no stability or structural problems or hazardous conditions. I am a mining engineer, registered in the State of Colorado, and experienced in the construction of earth and rock fill embankments. Mr. Moyer is a geological engineer who is experienced in the construction of earth and rock fill embankments. Mr. Kiger is employed by Colowyo as a reclamation supervisor and he personally observed the construction of the Section 16 Fill and particularly the topsoil placement and seeding.
