Continue monitoring erosion and <br /> revegetation at right of the drop structure,but mitigation will likely be required at some point. <br /> CONDITIONS OBSERVED: ® GOOD ❑ ACCEPTABLE ❑ POOR <br /> MONITORING <br /> EXISTING INSTRUMENTATION FOUND: <br /> ❑(50)NONE ❑(51)GAGEROD IN POOL AREA ® (52)PIEZOMETERS <br /> ❑(53)SEEPAGE WEIRS/FLUMES ❑(54)SURVEY MONUMENTS ®(55)OTHER Underdrain flow <br /> MONITORING OF INSTRUMENTATION: <br /> ❑(56)NO WEIRS/FLUMES ®(57)YES <br /> PERIODIC INSPECTIONS BY: <br /> ® (58)OWNER ❑ (59)ENGINEER <br /> Piezometers remain dry. Average underdrain flow measurements from 2019-21(32.5 gpm)are slightly lower than from 2016-2021 <br /> (34.8 gpm). Reduction is likely due to ongoing severe regional drought,but continue jetting and video inspection program. <br /> CONDITIONS OBSERVED: M GOOD ❑ ACCEPTABLE ❑ POOR <br /> MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS <br /> PROBLEMSNOTED: <br /> ❑ (60)NONE ❑(61)ACCESS ROAD NEEDS MAINTENANCE ❑(62)CATTLE DAMAGE <br /> ❑(63)BRUSH ON:UPSTREAM SLOPE/BEACH,CREST,DOWNSTREAM SLOPE,TOE <br /> ❑(64)RODENT ACTIVITY ON:UPSTREAM SLOPE/BEACH,CREST,DOWNSTREAM SLOPE,TOE <br /> ®(65)OTHER Disturbed areas adjacent to the South Diversion Ditch Drop Structure that are not protected by riprap were seeded in 2019, <br /> but due to drought conditions vegetation establishment is poor to date and rilling is developing at the lower slope;erosion mitigation will likely <br /> be required in the coming years. Repair minor leakage from toe drain ouffall pipe between manifold and exit. <br /> CONDITIONS OBSERVED: ❑ GOOD ® ACCEPTABLE ❑ POOR <br /> OVERALL CONDITIONS <br /> Based on this inspection and recent file review,the overall surficial condition is determined to be: <br /> ® SATISFACTORY ❑ CONDITIONALLY SATISFACTORY ❑ UNSATISFACTORY <br /> Page 2 of 4 <br />
