Hydrologic Balance
The preponderance of the mine pit reclaimed acreage in the northern portion of the original
permit area("D" and "C" Pit areas) drains to the west via the 005 drainage system and is treated
by Sediment Pond 005 (Photo SL2-4). Pond 005 water level was approximately 4 feet below the
top of the permanent spillway riser at the time of the inspection, and was not discharging. Small
areas along the eastern ridgeline in the northern portion of the original permit area drain to the
east, and are treated by Sedimentation Pond 009. Pond 009 was not inspected during the SL-2
inspection,but was inspected on 9/24/09, and was functioning properly. The pond has
historically been stable and functional, and has consistently met CDPS permit discharge limits
for settleable solids. Former Topsoil Stockpile PP,located along Road"G" drains into a Small
Area Exemption excavated sump. The stockpile site and sump were both well vegetated and
stable, with no indication of recent runoff or sedimentation into the sump.
The preponderance of mine pit reclaimed acreage in the central and southern portions of the
original permit area("A" and `B"pits areas) drains to the west via the 006 drainage system, and
is treated by Sediment Pond 006. Pond 006 embankment was stable and the pond was
discharging clear flow at the time of inspection. The pond discharge has consistently met CDPS
permit discharge limits for settleable solids. A small acreage along the eastern side of the eastern
ridgeline in the central portion of the original permit area drains into Sedimentation Pond 009,
while a small area along the east side of the ridgeline at the southern end of the original permit
area drains into Sedimentation Pond 015. Pond 015 was not inspected during the SL-2
inspection,but was inspected on 9/24/09, and was functioning properly. The pond has
historically been stable and functional, and has consistently met CDPS permit discharge limits
for settleable solids.
