t• <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />PERMIT #: M- 1980 -183 <br />INSPECTOR'S INITIALS: BMK <br />INSPECTION DATE: January 31, 2013 <br />1) The Division conducted an acreage reduction release request inspection on 1/31/13. Present during the <br />inspection was Mr. Fred Marvel of Brannan Sand and Gravel. On January 23, 2013, the operator submitted f <br />an acreage reduction request for the 75 acres of land that is now being utilized as water storage by Bromely <br />District Water Users, LLC. <br />2) On February 22, 2010, the Division reduced the required financial warranty for this area, but the acreage <br />was not released due to lack of adequate embankment vegetation. <br />3) The embankments were walked and inspected. The pond was full of water at the time of the inspection. The <br />embankments were stable but still lacked adequate vegetation growth. There was no noxious weed <br />infestation noted at the time of the inspection. The acreage reduction request is denied at this time. The <br />operator should re -seed the embankments and request an acreage reduction request at a later date. <br />4) While in the area, a piezometer reading at location # 004 was collected. The flooded pasture land was still <br />under frozen water. The operator agreed to collect three survey points to verify true elevation of the <br />pasture land in relation to the pond and Piezometer 004 location. The operator will continue to monitor the <br />location as outlined in the inspection report dated 12/14/12 until the source of the pasture land flooding is <br />determined. <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />
