Seeding and resetting of the sediment marker were not completed at the <br />time of the inspection. <br />Excess Spoil Fills <br />The reports reviewed for the three excess spoil fills meet the requirements of Rules 4.09.1(11). <br />Additional rock armoring of the downdrains was completed at Fill 7 during the quarter. Notation <br />concerning recertification of repaired areas at Fill 8 was noted. Completion of repairs to the <br />west downdrain at Fill 9 was also documented in the 1St quarter reporting. Minor reseeding of <br />the repaired areas is also necessary according to the report. <br />Discharge Monitoring Reports <br />No discharges occurred during the quarter, which is consistent with observations during DMG <br />field inspections. <br />We have no further questions or concerns at this time.
