Colowyo C-1981-019 23 July 2008 Pg 3/6 - The Gulch A Pond (NPDES 004A) contained water approximately four feet below the riser and was not discharging at the time of the inspection. There appears to be a good deal of sediment in the Gulch A Pond from the spring runoff. The pond embankment was well vegetated and appeared to be stable at the time of the inspection. No erosional problems noted on the embankment at the time of the inspection. The emergency spillway is an open, trapezoidal riprapped channel. The spillway appeared to be stable and well maintained at the time of the inspection. Goodspring Creek flows right past the Gulch A Pond embankment. The creek was flowing at the time of the inspection and appears to have returned to its normal seasonal flow. The area below the pond where it discharges has also dried out (the last two months it was flooded). - The Streeter Pond (NPDES 001 A) contained water approximately two feet below the discharge pipe and was discharging through the weep hole at the time of the inspection. The discharge and the water in the pond appeared to be clear at the time of the inspection. The pond embankment was well vegetated and appeared to be stable at the time of the inspection. No erosional problems noted on the embankment at the time of the inspection. The discharge from the Streeter Pond enters Goodspring Creek then flows through a large culvert under Colorado Highway 13. CDOT is responsible for keeping this culvert clean and it does appear as though it has been recently cleaned. - The Section 28 Pond was dry at the time of the inspection. The pond embankment appeared to be stable at the time of the inspection. There is some vegetation beginning to grow on the embankment but the hot, dry weather has not really helped. The emergency spillway is a riprapped, open channel that appeared to be stable. Construction on this pond embankment was completed late last summer. There does not appear to be any settling or cracking in the newly constructed embankment. - The Stoker Siding Pond (NPDES 005A) contained water approximately four feet below the top of the discharge pipe but was discharging a trickle from the weep hole at the bottom of the pipe. The pond embankment was well vegetated and appeared to be stable. The emergency spillway is a riprapped open channel. The spillway appeared to be stable and functioning as designed. There were no erosional problems noted on the pond embankment at the time of the inspection. - The East Taylor Pond (NPDES 01 OA) contained water approximately eight feet below the top of the discharge pipe and one foot below the weep hole and was not discharging at the time of the inspection. The pond embankment was well vegetated and appeared to be stable. The emergency spillway is a riprapped open channel. The spillway appeared to be stable and functioning as designed. There were no erosional problems noted on the pond embankment at the time of the inspection.
