The SWMP control devices were inspected and all SWMP control devices were found to be in fair <br />condition. Performed further routine SWMP maintenance during the quarter on Elk Creek mine and <br />facility roads. Sumps in front of straw bales were cleaned, etc. Snow in ditches and culverts most of the <br />quarter. <br />2. Outfall Ol 1 - Outfa11011 formerly served as a mine water pond for the Sanborn Creek Mine. The <br />pond does not collect surface drainage. With closure of the Sanborn Creek Mine, the incised pond <br />associated with Outfa11011 serves no further hydrologic function. The pond currently provides an <br />ongoing location to place ditch cleaning materials from adjacent ditches. Outfall 011 has been removed <br />from CDPS Discharge Permit CO-0000132. <br />3. Outfall 012 - (B Pond) had snow dumped on W. side of pond. Slow melting has started. <br />4. Outfall 016 - (D Pond) discharging slowly (~2 gpm) through apparent minor band leak on primary <br />outlet. All discharges have been in compliance. <br />5. Sediment and Water Level Determination -When sediment enters a pond, it is deposited unevenly, <br />usually collecting at the inlets rather than evenly across the bottom of the pond. Reported sediment levels <br />are based upon the inspector's observations made throughout the quarter during routine inspections in <br />combination with knowledge of the pond structure. The reported pond water level is also determined by <br />observations relative to the various landmarks in the pond (depth to bottom, primary riser, etc.) <br />Notwithstanding comments above, ponds have been maintained as designed and in accordance with the <br />approved plan. <br />Inspected By: <br />Under Direction o£ <br />~ Y.„ <br />James A.
