This sump is down slope from a mud pit <br />associated with a gas well. A pool of water is also held in the sump immediately south of Pond 8. The water <br />elevation is belo w the drainage culvert, so no water from this sump is dischargin g to Pond 8. <br /> <br />No concerns were id entified with any of the sediment ponds based on the observed photos. <br /> <br />ROADS – Rule 4.03 Drainage 4.03.1(4)/4.03.2(4) Surfacing and Maintenance4.03.1(5) and (6)/4.03.2(5) <br />and (6) Reclamation 4.03.1(7)/4.03.2(7): <br />Roads throughout the reclaimed mine site appear to be dry and maintained appropriately for the limited access <br />necessary at the mine site. The gas company uses the mine access road to access the gas well. No concerns were <br />identified with the mine acce s s road. <br /> <br />RECLAMATION SUCCESS - Rule 4.15, Rule 3: <br />Some rill formation is apparent on some of the steeper slopes. The operator needs to continue to monitor and <br />repair where gully formation impedes the reclam a tion. <br /> <br />The vegetation is dry and dormant in the winter months. The area appears to have established a fair grass <br />dominated community. Reclaimed slopes that have thin reestablished vegetation continue to exhibit limited rill <br />formation. Mitigation and limited inter -seeding of these slopes may be necessary this upcoming growing season. <br /> <br /> <br />DOCUMENTS RECEIVED NA <br />OTHER (SPECIFY) <br />
