The spots are two topographic lows, <br />in which the tailwater has developed a preferential flow path. The erosional features are small, however have <br />become extremely well vegetated because of the irrigation waters. The increased vegetative cover in these areas <br />has already begun to self-stabilize the erosional features and they are not considered a problem at this time. The <br />Operator is aware of the erosion and is monitoring the situation. For now, now further action from the Operator is <br />needed, and examples of the areas can be seen in Photos Three and Four. <br /> <br />TOPSOIL – Rule 4.06 <br />Removal 4.06.2; Substitute Materials 4.06.4(4); Storage and Protection 4.06.3; Redistribution 4.06.4: <br /> Also observed during the inspection, is the final topsoil stockpile left on site for landowner use, located in <br />the Northeast corner of the site.
