Subject: Annual Inspection of The Cove at Silver Reef
Dear Gary:
I conducted the annual inspection of The Cove at Silver Reef on September 3, 2024. Dave Bird from the
Utah Division of Environmental Response and Remediation accompanied me on the inspection. I have
copied him on this report.
A copy of the completed inspection form is included as Attachment A. Photographs taken during the
inspection are provided in Attachment B. My basic findings are summarized below:
• Soil Repository – Several shrubs (tentatively identified as are growing on the surface of the
repository. I pulled a few of these shrubs and found that they had a shallow rooting depth of 3
to 4 inches maximum and are therefore not a concern.
• Large Headframe – Intruders had pushed the chain-link material down and damaged two areas
of the fence on the south side of the large headframe. Both of these areas were damaged and
repaired previously. Together with the assistance of Mr. Bird, we attached new wire to
strengthen the southeast corner of the fence and attached 16-gauge fence wire to the top of the
fence near the southwest corner. I also cut several greasewood bushes that were growing
inside the large headframe fence. In each case, the growth originated from locations that I cut
last year. I sprayed the stumps with a brush killer (an 8.8% solution of Triclopyr, triethylamine
salt) within a few minutes of cutting to discourage regrowth of the bushes.
• Small Headframe –I noted no issues of concern at the small headframe. The riprap to the
stream-side face of the adjacent road berm was in good condition and appeared to be
adequately protecting that area from erosion.
• General Site Conditions – The site appeared to be generally in good condition. Areas where the
Site Management Plan calls for 6 inches of soil cover to be maintained were repaired in late
January and early February of this year. These area remain in good condition..
