No accelerated erosion or sedimentation concerns were noted on access road, but the Potential exists hence site recently constructed. Bmp's installed according to plan down gradient from well pad (i.e. filter fence). One lined below grade pit located onsite-- according to ES plan an above grade pit was to be used due to depth to seasonal high groundwater table. Soils type primarily Cookport- department is going to further investigate soil type and determine minimum depth of groundwater table for designated soil type, until that information is verified Inspt result will remain pending, no accelerated ES at time of this inspection. |
