The farmer <br /> was cutting the pasture,so the irrigation system likely had not been run for a few days to allow the ground and <br /> field to dry out adequately for cutting. <br /> Pond 1 was dry,though the bottom of the pond was well vegetated. In spite of the dry conditions,the vegetation <br /> on the south facing inslope(north side of pond)was doing ok. No erosional features were forming on the inslopes <br /> of the pond. The discharge structure was in good repair and free of foreign material. There was no water pooled <br /> in the bottom of the pond. <br /> Pond 2 was dry with no evidence of recent inflows into the pond. Vegetation was adequate on the pond inslopes <br /> and bottom. No problems were noted with Pond 2. <br /> Ditches throughout the site were in good condition and free of debris. The lining has been removed from the <br /> southern ditch to Pond 1. Ditches were free of woody plants and noxious weed species. <br /> Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 8 <br /> Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 4 <br /> Page 2 of 7 <br />
