Vince Massarotti was present throughout the inspection. Skies were clear, and <br />temperatures reached the mid 60F. Recent rains had left erosional features, with sumps and ponds holding water. <br />Identified maintenance items should be repaired as soon as possible. Ponds 9 and 9A, fills 7, 8, and 9; culverts, <br />and ditches D4, D10 as well as the shrub plot and The Knob were inspected. <br />Consider releasing the basin area for pond 5, approximately 5 acres, as this area receives runoff only from <br />undisturbed areas. <br />MAINTENANCE ITEMS Outstanding from July 2016 <br />1. Severed culvert (C1), photo 1. <br />2. Culverts C6 and C7 require clearing. <br />3. Gully at Pond 9, photo 3. <br />4. Please remove from disturbed areas noxious weeds: Elaeagnus angustifoilia, (Russian olive) and Tamarix <br />Spp. (salt cedar), as soon as possible. <br />5. Map features missing or incorrectly shown on Map 2.05.3.7 Culverts and Ditches: <br />a) Unbuilt Fill 6 <br />b) Road to pond 6 <br />c) Ditches and check dams above Pond 6 shown incorrectly <br />d) Culvert C5 shown incorrectly <br />e) Culvert between C4 and C5 on road between Fills 9 and 7 <br />f) Culvert above pond 5 near disturbance boundary between knob and pond 5. <br /> <br />INSPECTION: <br />SIGNS AND MARKERS Rule 4.02 <br />o Disturbed area boundary markers observed were intact and appeared properly placed.
