As you will recall, <br />three issues were identified as a result of the field inspection and included: 1) repair of a small <br />sloughed cave-in area above the back of the 9700 portal entry area, 2) reworking and <br />realignment of the east diversion ditch outlet structure for the lower tailings pond, and 3) <br />control of the Canadian thistle on the west side of the upper tailings pond. <br />Items # I and 3 above will be addressed during the 1996 field season as conditions allow and at <br />the time of effective weed control efforts. Reworking of the east diversion ditch was completed <br />last Fall at the lower tailing pond. The attached photo documentation indicates the work that <br />was completed and the newly constructed rip-rap channel that was constructed to handle runoff <br />diversion flows. The re-configured ditch now directs all potential runoff water into the <br />permanent spillway and thence exits through the spillway structure to the natural drainageway on <br />the east side of the dam. The rip-rap channel is designed and sized similar to the remainder of <br />the ditchline to insure that design flows are accommodated <br />if you have any questions regarding the work completed to date, or the planned work for the 1996 <br />field season, please contact me at your earliest convenience. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~.~ <.~, <br />~~~ <br />cc' A Sorenson -Colorado DMG.
