Binns, Janet <br />From: W D Corley, Jr. [ajjc @att.net] <br />Sent: Tuesday, August 16, 2011 3:33 PM <br />To: Binns, Janet <br />Subject: GEC reclamation 1 <br />Attachments: 110816fence1.jpg C c�J-v� <br />Ms. Binns, <br />We did not show you the fence which is about 30 ft. east of the GEC sediment pond which is filled. We have <br />attached a photo of this fence which is our boundary fence. It was constructed in 1991, and it is a five strand <br />barbed wire fence originally approximately five ft. high. The photo shows that only the top two strands of wire <br />are above the sediment with the third strand down exposed only where the sediment has eroded down an <br />additional foot. The sediment at the fence line is approximately 3 ft. deep leaving less than 2 ft. of fence height. <br />We completed the survey of the major gully along the county road. This gully is approximately 1100 ft. long <br />and 25 ft. deep in places. The volume of material lost by erosion since the GEC reclamation is approximately <br />7,400 cu. yds. This figure is underestimated since it was not safe to try to survey the grade breaks part way up <br />the gully sides, but it gives an estimate of the massive amount of mostly shale material that has been lost. The <br />permit volume of the sediment pond could be subtracted to yield an amount of silt that has left the property <br />from the road gully. The rest of the silt from the South side of Chen's Hill and the East and West pit gullies was <br />never collected by a sediment pond. Trying to survey all of the gullies would be a huge job, but a good guess <br />could easily be five to ten times the 7,400 cu. yd. figure. <br />W.D. Corley, Jr. <br />
