The channel was dry at the time of the inspection. There were no new erosional features and <br /> the existing feature did not appear to have enlarged. No signs of instability were noted. <br /> RECLAMATION SUCCESS -Rule 4.15,Rule 3: <br /> The reclaimed haul road was vegetated and stable (Photos 3 and 4). There were no new erosional features. <br /> There is a large gully on the lower portion of the reclaimed haul road. This gully has been documented in previous <br /> Division inspection reports. The gully is beginning to stabilize and appears to be integrating itself into the <br /> hydrologic characteristics of the site. The gully ends in the natural drainage that leads to the sediment pond.
