Cracks or Slidcs Yes :Cracks approximately 1-inch <br /> wide run along the crest of the <br /> upstream slope, N•tS°E from the <br /> primary• spillway for a distance <br /> of 32Yz feet. Cracks <br /> i ,approximately 1-inch wide also <br /> run along the crest of the <br /> downstream face from the <br /> ~I primary spillway to the north <br /> ~ abutment, and 2-3 feet down the <br /> ~ slope, parallel to the cres[, from <br /> 12 fee[ Nd5°N [0 27 feet from <br /> the primary spillway, [hen <br /> sloping up the face to the crest <br /> at 29 feet from the primary <br /> ~ spillway. No slumping, sliding <br /> or displacement was noticed. <br /> ~ The cracks appear [o be <br /> i desiccation or shrinkage cracks <br /> I as are common to much of the <br /> surrounding areas. <br />Seepage No <br />Other No <br />Appurtenant Structures ~'i <br />Defec[ive Spillways No ~~ <br />Dewatering Device Clogged ' No ~ <br />Faulty Gales, Baffles, Pumps No <br />Other j No <br />Additional Comments: None <br />Maintenance Required: <br />Uncover burrow and re-compact in-situ backfill to dam construction specifics[ions. At the present degree <br />of damage, the burrow could likely be uncovered by hand spade work and the material replaced with hand <br />tamping. This work should be accomplished prior to [he next period of sustained high water in the pond. <br />Reseed the downstream slope of the dam. The downstream, southeast facing slope appears to be difficul[ <br />to revegetate (slope, lack of moisture, and drying ac[ion from exposure to the sun). As no erosion <br />features have developed, reseeding, perhaps with some Corm of mulching and fertilisation, during the next <br />optimum planting season is recommended. <br />Recommend: <br />Monitoring of rodent activity during quarterly inspections. Should burrows continue to be a problem, <br />implement additional rodeo[ con[rol procedures to halt the burrowing activity on the dam. <br />Canadian Mine Pond # 2 Inspection Report, l~t October 1993, Page 2 of 3 <br />
