Follow-up
A landslide has occured in the backfill behind pond 006. The company removed landslide material to clear the road. Storm water from the slide is now draining down the slide, across the road, and directly into the pond near the pond's dishcarge point. This short-circut reduces the pond's ability to treat the turbid water and may result in increased discharge of total suspended solids. The permittee should build a berm around the pond or otherwise grade the road to drain the stormwater to the interior roadside ditch so that it can travel to the entrance of the pond and receive full treatment before discharge.

The disturbed area where the slide material has been placed should also be seeded for stabalization.

This facility is out of compliance with the NPDES permit unitl the water treatment system is restored as designed.
