Pond 016A was discharging into Pond 016, which was also discharging. The discharge from both ponds
was clear. A spoil spring was discharging into Pond 016A, emanating between Haul Road J and the shrub plot.
Pond 005 was discharging clear water. Pond 009 was discharging clear water; the embankment was stable.
Pond 017 was discharging clear water;the embankment was stable and vegetated.
The drainages between Pond 015 and the reclaimed area(at PM41)and PM4C/PM4B)were inspected.
Downcutting was observed in the channels,and it was discussed with the operator. The operator will look into
possible solutions to the downcutting that could be implemented closer to the disturbed area,to prevent further
degradation of the undisturbed areas that runoff passes through before reaching the pond.
