The embankment <br />was stable and vegetated. <br /> <br />West Pyeatt #1 pond embankment was stable and the spillway was functioning. The flume was in place and <br />functioning. <br /> <br />Middle Pyeatt #3 was only holding a small amount of water. The sediment marker was in place. The pond <br />embankment was stable and vegetated. <br /> <br />Middle Pyeatt #2 was dry and the embankment was stable and vegetated. The emergency spillway appeared <br />stable. <br /> <br />Middle Pyeatt #1 was holding water. The embankment was stable and vegetated. <br /> <br />East Pyeatt #3 was holding water and discharging. The embankment was stable and vegetated. The flume was in <br />place and functioning. <br /> <br />East Pyeatt #2 was holding water and discharging. The embankment was stable and vegetated. <br /> <br />East Pyeatt #1 was holding water and discharging. The embankment was stable and vegetated. Several rills and <br />gullies were forming on the access road to the East Pyeatt ponds. According to Mr. Roberts, this road will be <br />bladed and fixed in the future. <br /> <br />Grouse and Sage Ponds were inaccessible due to the road conditions. However these ponds were viewed from a <br />distance. Grouse Ponds 1 and 2 were holding water; the dam embankments appeared stable and vegetated. Sage <br />ponds were empty. <br /> <br />Oak ponds 1 and 2 were observed from the drainage above the ponds. The ponds were holding water and the <br />embankments were stable and vegetated. The drainage above the oak ponds was running a significant amount of <br />water. The drainage has been lined with rock to help dissipate the energy of the runoff. Given the steep angle of <br />the drainage, water runs fast and winds around the larger rock placed in the channel. Some side cutting of the <br />drainage was observed. Several small check dams at the bottom of the drainage above the ponds have been blown <br />through. According to Mr. Roberts, this drainage is a continual maintenance item for the operation. Once F pit is <br />reclaimed and vegetated, the amount of runoff received by the channel should decrease. <br /> <br />Horse Gulch Pond was holding water and discharging. The embankment was stable and vegetated. The spillway <br />was in place and stable. The flume was functioning. <br /> <br />West Horse Pond was holding water, the side slopes were stable. The sediment marker was in place, the pond is <br />well below capacity for sediment. The embankment was stable and vegetated. <br /> <br />Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 9 <br />Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 3 <br /> <br />49 <br />Page of <br /> <br /> <br />
