F, 0fi2-M-S <br />12-2-(-o7 <br />Initial operations began in July 2007 with survey of boundaries and <br />installation of perimeter marking devices. Staff also met to plan the <br />implementation of the SWMP prior to any mining activities. A contractor <br />was engaged in October 2007 to install the erosion control features which <br />included construction of ditches to a sedimentation pond, erosion fencing <br />and culverts prior to any mining. Once these features were installed and the <br />area ready for mining, shaping of steep slopes began. The SWMP works <br />properly. <br />10-10-07 Initial inspection of Site: <br />A site visit was made by me to determine if the SWMP was installed <br />properly. All features were in place in the area of activity on the western <br />side of the project. Erosion fencing was installed along the perimeter, <br />drainage ways were constructed directing potential Stormwater to the <br />sedimentation pond. The mining area and all ditches to the pond were dry. <br />The SWMP appeared to be installed correctly and was working properly. <br />12-24-07 Second site inspection: <br />A site visit was made to find the site in virtually the same conditions as the <br />initial site visit. The only change was a reduction in overburden on the steep <br />embankments of the operation prior to permitted activities. All erosion <br />fencing and ditches were in place and dry. There was no sediment <br />accumulation in the pond. The SWMP appears to be working properly.
